The discovery of this species, one of the largest of 

 the freshwater turtles, in the Malay Peninsula is a fine 

 extension of its known range. It has previously been 

 recorded from the Ganges and Irrawady river systems. 



This turtle has also been met with in the Ratburi 

 river. Western Siam, two adult specimens having been 

 caught near Kanburi. These two examples, which I 

 examined alive, differed from the description of the 

 Indian form in that the disc was marked with numerous, 

 pale broad lines and angular markings. 



Although of not such a fierce disposition as the 

 common Trionyx cartilagineus, they would when irri- 

 tated suddenly shoot out their long necks with lightning- 

 like rapidity and were capable of giving one a vei-y 

 severe bite.
