The Cases 14 and 15, between the windows, and the 
Table Cases, contain dry specimens of Crocodiles and 
Tortoises; as the Indian and African Crocodiles, and 
the Gavial, or Long-beaked Crocodile of the Ganges. A 
series of Tortoises, arranged after the same order as the 
specimens in spirits in Case No. 1. Among them are 
the Serpentine Tortoises ( Testudo serpentina ), which 
unite with the form of the Tortoises several of the cha¬ 
racters of the Crocodiles, as the large head, and the 
long tail with elevated ridges; also species of Land Tor¬ 
toises, as the Indian Tortoise ( Testudo indica ) and the 
Radiated Tortoise ( Testudo radiata ) ; the American Box 
Tortoise ( Testudo clausa); many species of Terrapin 
(Emys) from America and India ; some very young Tur¬ 
tles ( Chelonia ); and the head of a very large specimen, 
from the Indian Ocean. 
In one of the Windows are placed some large specimens of 
Snakes, as the Indian Rock Snake (Python), a large 
Rattle-Snake (Crotalus), the Mourning Snake (Coluber 
pullatus) and the Crimson-sided Snake (Coluber por - 
phyriacus): in the other is a specimen and a skeleton of 
the Rock Snake, (Pythoii boceformis).
