| Notes |
This is a black and white facsimile version of the original that was published in 1872. This book's origins actually lie in a work that was produced some forty years earlier - the Monograph of the Testudinata by Thomas Bell (1792-1880).
An illustrated excerpt of this book with large color plates and explanatory text can be found online from the Glascow University Library's Special Collection. It was their book of the month for September 2007. The online version does not contain most of the text.http://special.lib.gla.ac.uk/exhibns/month/sept2007.html
