| Abstract |
|
A box turtle, Terrapene carolina, was found to have 3 coelomic, extraoviducal shelled eggs. Two of these were attached to the liver by overgrowth of its connective tissue, presumably in response to inflammation induced by the eggs. Yolk material from the third (unattached) egg yielded pure cultures of the bacterium, Micrococcus tetragenus. Cultures of albumen and yolk were sterile from one of the four shelled oviducal eggs present.
