This species has been described in detail by Ogilby, and figured by 

 Waite. It is very similar to some varieties of C. hlunzingeri ; the 

 predorsal scales, however, are usually larger and regular, and the dark 

 markings on the mediolateral scales, characteristic of 6'. Iclunzingeri, are 

 either indistinct or wanting. 



Logs. — 0. galii is common in south-eastern Queensland, and we have 

 examined numerous specimens from near Brisbane. Others are in the 

 Australian Museum from Bundaberg, Queensland. The species has been 

 introduced into a pond in the Botanic Gardens, Sydney, whence the 

 specimens described and figured by Ogilb}' and Waite were obtained.
