Abstract     
Testudinidae Psammobates I have undertaken a reexamination of the South-African Tortoises allied to Testudo geometrica, and am able to distinguish as many as seven well-marked species, of which the diagnoses follow. The specimens named T. trimeni, after the Director of the South- African Museum, and T. fiski, were lately exhibited in the Society's Gardens, and were unrepresented in the Natural History Museum. That named T. smithi, after the author of the ' Illustrations of South-African Zoology,' is established on a specimen erroneously referred by Gray to T, verreauxii. The true T. verreauxii being still unrepresented in our collections, its diagnosis is compiled from Smith's description and figure.
