Its anterior border is concave, the neurals are ot moderate width, the pygal is bifurcate, the peripherals over the hind limbs somewhat flaring, and there is a conspicuous and sharp carina along each side. The vertebral scutes are like those of No. 1359. There is a considerable depression on the area of the second, third, and fourth vertebral scutes. No. 1355 is an injured shell, but shows an anterior slightly concave outline. A peculiarity is presented in the anterior neurals. The first is broad in front and comes into contact with the second costal plates. The second is hexagonal, with the shorter sides behind. The third seems to have had four convex sides. The anterior vertebral scute has been 64 mm. wide; the second, 52 mm. wide. No. 1351 is a small turtle, 145 mm. long, which has the first and fifth vertebral scutes about as wide as the second and third.
