This is about the most westerly limit of the species, which abounds all 

 aloufj the east coast of the Bay of Benf^al. It has been captured near Cal-

 coast or were tlie descendauts of parents so introduced, as so nois}' a reptile 

 could not be indif^enous to Lower Bengal without being well known.
