KEWHAH, rniNTEE, DEVONSHIEB STKEfel, BISHOPSGATE. INTRODUCTION. A list of all tHe specimens of Shield EeptUes in the British Museum. They are arranged as they are described in — I. The Catalogue of Shield EeptUes. Part I. Testudinata, dto, 1855 ; the Supplement, 4to, 1870; and its Appendix, 4to, 1872. By Dr. J. E. Gray. II. The Catalogue of Shield EeptUes. Part II. Emydosau- rians, EhynohooephaUa, and Amphisbasnians, 4to. 1872. By Dr. J. E. Gray. The new species or improvements in the arrangement of the animals that may have been discovered since the pubUcation of these works have been adopted, and a reference made to where they have been described. When any of the specimens have served as the types of a description or figure of the species in any scientific work, reference is made to where the description and figure are to be found. Whenever the specimen has been presented or obtained directly from a collector, the name of the presentor or collector, and the habitat sent with the specimen, has been recorded immediately after the specimen, but the far greater number of the specimens have been obtained from dealers with only the most general habitats. The condition in which the specimen is preserved, its size, and often the age and sex, when known with certainty, are recorded. IV INTKODUCTION. The following table gives the number and state of the speci- mens at present in the collection, and the manner in which they are preserved. 1 i ITS 1 1 CO ! 197 I. Testudinata 1.
