Abstract
THIS is a very interesting and excellently produced monograph dealing with seventeen species out of sixty-one now recognised by American authors. Considering that New England includes the northern limit of distribution of the Chelonians of eastern North America, this is a good number. The author has collected most of the observations published on the life-histories of these species, and such a compilation is a valuable addition to the descriptive and iconographic part of the work.
