Description
Zoological study of the Indian flapshell turtle Lissemys punctata. View of the whole freshwater animal, showing the back or upper shell, with limbs and head extended.
Plate 30A from the book Historia testudinum iconibus illustrata by Johann David Schoepff (Erlangen, 1792).
The illustration is not inscribed (other than a partial plate number) but has been trimmed for binding and therefore this information has been lost from this plate.
