in ponds about the rice-fields, and has watched them basking, several 
at a time, on the tops of large stones in such ponds.

5. Lurremys.

Very variable in colour. 
iv. Toes webbed; they and legs covered with very small scales ; 
front legs only with thin band-like plates in front ; the lobes 
of the sternum narrow. 
6. NoTOCHELYS. 
Back convex, flattened above. The sternum flexuous ; lobes rather 
narrow, truncated in front and behind. The legs and toes covered 
with minute scales ; the front legs having a series of broad, thin, 
band-like shields in front. Toes webbed. Claws acute. 
This genus is like a true Hmys in most of its characters ; but the 
sternum is scarcely raised above the underside of the margin, and 
is united to the thorax by a cartilaginous symphysis ; the lobes are 
separated by a straight depressed suture, but scarcely moveable. It 
differs from all the other Cistudine in the legs and toes being 
covered with minute lanceolate scales as in Batagur, with only a few 
very narrow shields near the claws.
