About this book
Robert G. Webb's 1962 monograph from the University of Kansas Museum of Natural History surveys the soft-shelled turtles of North America. It began with a question he met while collecting turtles along Gulf Coast rivers: whether populations separated in different river systems show how long they have been apart.
The systematic part gives a key and accounts of each species and subspecies of Trionyx, among them ferox, spinifer, ater and muticus. A natural history section follows, on habitat, daily activity, food, reproduction, growth and parasites, then a section on evolutionary history that takes in fossils, with plates and figures.
