1915. ] N. ANNANDALE: Herpetological Notes. 343 
Type.—An adult female, which was examined alive and is now 
preserved as a skeleton in the Indian Museum (No. 17973: Kept. 
Ind. Mus.). The skin of the head is preserved in spirit. 
I have also examined a slightly larger female (stuffed) anda 
young individual (in spirit) (pl. xxxiti, fig. 2), both the property 
of the Nagpur Museum. 
The following are the measurements of the type :—

Distribution.—The type is from a tank in the town of Nagpur, 
the capital of the Central Provinces of India, as is also the adult 
specimen in the Nagpur Museum; while the young example in 
that museum is from a canal or stream at the same place. 
This species is related to T. gangeticus, Cuv., the chief differ- 
ences being (1) the presence of ocelli on the disk of the young and 
the absence of forwardly directed V-shaped markings’ on the head, 
(2) the more pointed snout, (3) the smaller postorbital foramen, 
(4) the longer symphysis of the lower jaw and the absence of a 
transverse ridge on its inner margin. 
The eggs are small, the diameter being only 31 mm. in exam- 
ples found ready for deposition in the type-specimen, which was 
killed in June. Another female killed at Nagpur was found to 
contain fully formed eggs in January. 
I have to thank Mr. E. A. D’Abreu for the opportunity of 
making this very noteworthy addition to the herpetological fauna 
of India. He has also sent me for examination two specimens of 
the form I recently described as T. gangeticus subsp. mahanaddt- 
cus.' One is a skeleton of an adult slightly larger than the type 
(fig. 2, p. 342), while the other is a much smaller stuffed example. 
The localities are (?) Jubbulpore and Seonath R., Bilaspur dis- 
trict ; both places being in the Central Provinces. 
Trionyx leithii, Gray.

In a recent paper I cast doubt on the occurrence of T. letthii 
in the Gangetic river-system, but I now take the earliest opportu-
