This is the common species of land tortoise in British Burma, 



Blyth very causticly remarks J. A. S. XXXII, page 84. '•' Of course 

 this is the species referred to as T. elongata, Gray (!) from Camboja, in 

 Proc. ZooL Soc. 1861, page 139. As well, however, may Dr. J. E. Gray, 

 refer to Homo sapiens, Gray, or Equus Gahallus, Gray! I claim, the 

 honour, such as it is, of having named the three fine Indo-Chinese species 

 of Testudo, as yet discovered, Palmam qid meruit ferat. Dr. Gray, is, 

 however, a well known offender in this respect ; more's the pity."
