The Malabar specimen is a large female, of which the measure- 
ments are given below. The shell, dry, is practically black all 
over. The central dorsal keel remains distinct throughout its 
length, but the lateral keels are obsolescent. The colour of the 
head was typical though slightly less brilliant than in smaller 
individuals, 
Carapace.

In a footnote to the paper cited ( p. 74) I have recorded the 
occurrence of this species in the Jalpaiguri district of northern Ben: 
gal. Possibly it is one of those Assamese reptiles whose western 
range along the base of the Himalayas has been limited or practi- 
cally limited by the R. Tista. If so, its occurrence in Chota 
Nagput is all the more remarkable.

The type-specimen of this species has been presented by the 
Madras Museum to the Indian Museum. It is now preserved in 
spirit and is numbered 17115 in our register of reptiles. A good 
watercolour sketch of the living animal was made by Babu Abhoya 
Charan Chowdhary and is available for reference.
