A. LEITH ADAMS ON GIGANTIC LAND-TORTOISES ETC.
191
The Author, in reply to Prof. Ramsay, said that it was impossible to tell whether the remains from Gibraltar belonged to a land or freshwater species, as the parts of the skeleton preserved did not furnish the necessary evidence; but the characters of the radius showed that it was not a marine Turtle. In reply to Prof. Seeley, he said that the head of the femur of the large Maltese Chelonian was quite different from that of Colossochelys atlas from the Siwaliks, and added that he quite agreed with him that the thickness of the carapace was by itself no evidence of gigantic size.
