General Hardwicke figures a spotted example of this genus 

 with the upper part of the head spotted, which is copied as 

 Trionyx punctatus^ jun., in Gray's ' Illustrations of Indian 

 Zoology.' 



General Hardwicke figures a much larger specimen from 

 Futteghur, which he says is called " Bun-Goma^'' which is 

 the country name for the land-turtle commonly called " Turpin.^^ 

 The lower side shows the sternal callosities well developed. 

 These figures are copied in my ' Illustrations of Indian Zoology ' 

 under the name Trionyx granosus. The back is uniform olive- 

 green ; and the upper part of the head, neck, and limbs is 

 green, with two pale orange spots, one on each side of the back 

 of the crown. I do not know whether this difference of colour 

 depends on age or not. 



Buchanan-Hamilton, in his drawings, calls this tortoise Tes- 

 tudo dura. 



GeofFroy describes the species of this genus as Trionyx co- 

 romandelicus (Ann. du Mus. iv. p. 16, tab. v. fig. 1). 



The skull is figured as Potamochelys stellatus, Gray, P. Z. S. 

 1864, p. 85, figs. 7 & 8(skull) ; Suppl. Cat. Shield Rept. p. 105, 

 fig. 34 (skull only). 



Schlegel figures the head of Trionyx granosus (' Fauna 

 Japonica,' Chelon. tab. v. fig. 4). It is of uniform colour.
