Abstract/NotesIn the course of his excavations in the Upper Eocene beds of the Fayûm during the early part of 1902, Mr. H. J. L. Beadnell unearthed a remarkably fine shell of a very large species of Testudo. A brief description of this specimen was afterwards published in Cairo by the present writer, and it was made the type of a new species, Testudo Ammon. At the same time Mr. Beadnell gave a short account of the beds in which it was found, and of the methods employed by him for its preservation and transport to the Museum in Cairo.
