Femoral scute: Length of border of scute on midline, 24; width of anterior border of scute from midline to inguinal notch, 41; width of posterior border of scute from midline to outer border (along sulcus), 40; length of outer margin of scute from inguinal notch to femoro-anal sulcus, 46. Anal scute: Length of margin at midline, 36; length of femoro-anal sulcus, 40. _Remarks._--Noteworthy is the intermediate nature of _C. limnodytes_ when compared with species of the genera _Chrysemys_ and _Pseudemys_. However, any resemblance to _Pseudemys_ is not to be considered as evidence that _C. limnodytes_ is in any way ancestral to the genus _Pseudemys_. The fossil specimens of _Pseudemys_ from the Pliocene are too poorly known to allow the student certainly to place them in their correct systematic positions. The fossil Emydids from Western Europe, listed as species of _Chrysemys_, differ very much from this species, or belong to other genera of the family. Only a few turtles are known from the Laverne formation. Hesse (Chaney and Elias, 1936) reported a small _Testudo_ from the Laverne of Beaver County, Oklahoma, but neglected to state whether it was among the material borrowed by him from the University of Kansas Museum of Natural History. The Museum has an incomplete carapace and plastron (No. 3101) of a small _Testudo_ from that locality and formation. In Harper County, Oklahoma, the field party from the University recovered a large number of fragments of a large _Testudo_. Although this specimen is as yet unprepared, enough fragments have been pieced together to reveal that the tibia is 127 mm. long. This dimension and those of some of the fragments indicate that the animal may have been four to five feet long. Mrs. Bernita Mansfield of the Geology Department, University of Kansas, prepared the plate. LITERATURE CITED BERGOUNIOUX, FREDERIC-MARIE. 1935.
