(alt. 1700-3200 ft.). The specimens are considerably larger than 
the type, one of them being 280 mm. long. The yellow lateral 
band on each side is separated from the white median ventral 
band by a dark one, which is greyish in spirit. This dark band 
varies considerably in breadth. 
Ichthyophis monochrous (Bleeker). 
1912. Boulenger, Faun. Malay Penin., Rept., p. 286. 
Boulenger notes (op. cit.) that this species has not been re- 
corded from Ceylon, but there are two specimens from that island 
in the collection of the Indian Museum. They were taken some 
years ago at Pattipola in the hills of the Central Province (alt. ca. 
6000 feet) by Mr. F. H. Gravely. 
ADDENDA. 
Since these notes went to the press I have received specimens 
of three species of Chelonia from Mr. W. J,ancelot Travers, who 
obtained them near Baradighi in the Jalpaiguri district of Bengal. 
The same gentleman had already sent me examples of two others 
fromthe same locality. As our knowledge of the Chelonia of north- 
ern Bengal is still far from complete, this little collection is of 
considerable importance. It includes the following species :—Chitra 
indica (several young specimens), Emyda granosa (a half-grown 
specimen of the typical form), Testudo elongata (one young speci- 
men), Geoemyda tricarinata (one adult), Geoemyda indopeninsularis 
(a large male). 
It is of particular interest to find that the range of 7. e/on- 
gata actually extends, as Anderson thought probable, along the 
sub-Himalayan tract to the west of Assam, and that G. indopenin- 
sularis occurs north of the Ganges. 
The specimen of the latter species agrees well with the male 
type.! The shell is actually deeper as a whole than in G. érijuga 
var, edeniana, but the bridge has relatively a much smaller vertical 
depth. The specimen from Assam referred doubtfully to edeniana 
(op. cit., pp. 69, 70) should probably be assigned to G. indopenin- 
sulavis, in spite of its broad second vertebral shield; it is much 
smaller than the other three in the collection.
