Cambridge, MA, The Museum of Comparative Zoölogy, 1940. 4to (30.0 x 25.1 cm). Title page, 35 pp.; nine plates (eight in full colour) of tortoises, four text figures, errata slip. Later blind wrappers.

Important paper on the systematics, morphology and distribution of these New World continental turtles with the introduction of several new subspecies. Well-illustrated. The one black-and- white photographic plate shows actual type specimens. Disbound from the Museum's Memoirs, but with neat wrappers and in all a very good, clean copy. We have seen no other copies offered for a long time.
