1893.] : Zoology. 671 
I have received many specimens of this species through the kindness 
of Mr. Gustave Kohn, of New Orleans, La. This species is the repre- 
sentative of K. pensilvanicum in Louisiana. I have never received a 
specimen of K. pensilvanicum from this locality, and. believe that all 
the specimens which have been described as K. pensilvanicum from 
this State belong to K. louisiane. Type specimen, No. 15527, Smith- 
sonian Institution, from New Orleans, La. 
—G. Baur, University of Chicago. 
Further Notes on American Box-Tortoises.—In Science, of 
April 3, 1891 (Vol. XVII, No. 426), I have given the osteological 
characters of three of the American Box-Tortoises: Terrapene major 
Ag., T. carolina L., and T. ornata Ag. 
Through the kindness of Mr. Gustave Kohn, of New Orleans, La., 
I have received lately three living specimens of T. triunguis Ag. ( C. 
€inosternoides Gray; Boul.) Besides I have received a specimen of T. 
mexicana Gray, for which I have to thank Dr. A. L. Herrera, Director 
of the National Museum, Mexico. Both these forms proved to be very 
interesting. I give now osteological phatautets of all the forms of 
Terrapene. 
TERRAPENE MAJOR AG., 1857. 
Quadratojugal well-developed, forming a complete zygomatic arch ; 
cervicals long; upper branch of scapula considerably longer than 
inner branch (endo-scapula); digits with well-developed webs. 
Number of phalanges in fore-foot, 2 3 3 3 2; in hind foot, 2 3 3 3 2. 
Southern States. Locality of type, Mobile, Ala. 
TERRAPENE CAROLINA L., 1766. 
Quadratojugal rudimentary, only connected with quadrate ; cervicals 
shorter than in T. major Ag.; upper branch of scapula somewhat 
longer than inner branch (endo-scapula), put not so long as in T. 
major ; digits slightly webbed. 
Number of phalanges in fore-foot, 2 3 3 3 2 or 2 3 3 2 2; in hind 
foot 2 3 3 3 2. 
Eastern States to Indiana. 
TERRAPENE MEXICANA GRAY, 1849 ( Onychotria). 
Quadratojugal rudimentary, only connected with quadrate ; cervi- 
cals probably as in T. major; upper branch of scapula as in T. major. 
No web between the digits and only three claws in the hind foot.
