A New Tortoise, Genus Gopherus, From North-central Mexico

"A New Tortoise, Genus Gopherus, From North-central Mexico" by John M. Legler is a mid-20th century scientific paper about a newly found tortoise species, "Gopherus flavomarginatus", in north-central Mexico. The book adds to what we know about the Gopherus family of tortoises by focusing on the physical traits and locations of this new species. It points out the differences between "Gopherus flavomarginatus" and other tortoises, like its shell, color, and size, using detailed descriptions from examples, old records, and the author's own notes while in the field. The book also talks about where the tortoise might live in Mexico and mentions stories that hint at it being there, showing how important this discovery is for protecting different types of life in desert areas. With its scientific focus and thorough study, this book is good for scientists and researchers who care about the classification and natural living arrangements of North American tortoises.
