INTRODUCTION.

A list of all the specimens of Shield Keptiles in the British
Museum. They are arranged as they are described in —

I. The Catalogue of Shield Keptiles. Part I. Testudinata,

4to, 1855; the Supplement, 4to, 1870; and its Appendix,
4to, 1872. By Dr. J. E. Gray.

II. The Catalogue of Shield Beptiles. Part II. Emydosau-

rians, Rhynchocephalia, and Amphisbaenians, 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 publication 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.
