88 HERPETOLOGICAL NOTES. 



2. Calotes cristatellus, Kuhl. 



Calotes cristatellus (Kuhl.), Barbour, Mem. Mus. Comp. 

 Zool. Harvard., 1912, xliv. 



To the long list of localities in the East Indies from 

 which this species is recorded by Barbour (see above) 

 must be added Dutch New Guinea. In the Museum Col- 

 lection are ten specimens from " North West New Guinea, 

 presented to the Trustees in 1889 by Captain Strachan." 



3. GoNYOCEPHALUs spiNiPES, A. Dum. 

 A young specimen which is referred to this species 

 with some doubt comes from Ourimbah, near Gosford, 

 about 40 miles north of Sydney, New South Wales. This 

 extends the range of the widely dispersed genus Gony- 

 ocephalus about two hundred miles southwards. The 

 extension of the East Indian genus Gonyocephalus into 

 New South Wales contrasts markedly with the distribution 

 of other Papuan migrants such as Rana papua, Austrocha- 

 perina, and Trojndophorus, which remain confined to the 

 north-east coast of Queensland. 



iii. ON A NEW CHELODINA FROM AUSTRALIA, 

 WITH A KEY TO THE GENUS. 



(Plate IV.) 



Chelodina intergularis, sp. nov. 



Carapace not depressed, evenly arched, oval, broad- 

 est at a line drawn through the middle of the fourth 

 vertebral shield. No vertebral groove in the adult. Shields 

 and bones with a network of anastomosing grooves. Third 

 to seventh marginal shields of each side with weakly de- 

 flexed margins. Nuchal shield large, a little broader than 

 long. First vertebral shield only as large as the second ; 

 it is 1mm. broader and 1mm. shorter than the second. 

 Plastron a little more than twice as long as broad, broadly 

 rounded anteriorly and feebly bayed between the gulars, 

 considerably narrower than the carapace in that region ; 

 posterior lobe deeply bayed behind, and constricted in the 

 region of the femoro-anal suture ; about as wide as the 

 anterior lobe, and a little more than half the greatest width
