is of opinion that " it is an extremely well-marked species," and 

 further, that " it may very likely be the small crocodile said to 

 inhabit the streams on the table-land of Rhotas Ghur." A specimen 

 shot by Theobald in Xerbudda was not more than eight feet long. 

 It is just possible that the small rocky streams in Bundlekund and 

 Central India may be the habitat of this species. The subject is 

 well worth investigation. 



C. poiidicherianiis. — Only one young specimen of this species 

 has as yet been obtained. It is figured in Gunlher's work, and it 

 is supposed to have been captured at Poudicherry. As it was 

 twelve inches long shortly after being hatched, it will doubtless 

 prove a large species. Pondicheriauus may be looked for iu 

 estuaries and the coasts along Southern India. 



We have thus two fresh-water and two (as it were) salt-water 

 crocodiles, besides G. gangelicus, which is too well-known to 

 require any special notice. 



The above has been published in a local paper. I hope to send 

 some particulars regarding the nidijication of the last-mentioned 

 species in a future communication, as I have been fortunate enough 

 to get several batches of their eggs in one nest : tire young gharials 

 were on the point of being hatched, and a friend who acted as 

 accoucheur to one of them got his finger bitten by the little wretch, 

 which appeared none the worse for his premature delivery. It 

 measured thirteen inches long on exclusion from the shell.

 the roadside, and not until I had seen the bird several times, and had been 

 within a few feet of it, could I persuade myself it was not a grasshopper, so 

 exactly do the two familiar and curious notes resemble each other. — E. C.
