The National Museum, besides the specimens enumerated in the 

 Herpetology of Japan (p. 500), had already 5 good specimens (Nos. 

 46491-95) collected by P. L. Jouy at Hongkong and one (No. 31721) 

 supposed to be from Shanghai by E. Deschamps. In addition, Mr. 

 Sowerby has sent a young just hatched (No. 65426) from Foochow, 

 Fukien, and a fine series of nine half-grown and adults (Nos. 65417- 

 25) from Shanghai. These show the usual variations, and one (No. 

 65419) represents the melanistic phase nearly always found together 

 with the normal form, a question which I have treated more fully in 

 my article in " Science " quoted above. This specimen is uniformly 

 black above, but the plastron is more or less dark walnut brown, 

 lightest on the pectoral laminae near the median seam.
