 Hamilton). 



Aspilus gataghol, Gray, Ann. & Mag. N. Hist. 1873. 



Hab. India. 



I have never seen a specimen of this species, hut describe it on 

 the authority of Dr. Hamilton's drawing. 



The black radiations on the head are very like the rays on the 

 head of T. gangeticus ; but the original drawing and the copy in the 

 ' Illustrations ' show only two very narrow lateral callosities, which 

 are characteristic of the genus Aspilus. 



** Head white-spotted.

Aspilus javanicus. 



Schlegel, in the ' Fauna Japonica' (tab. v. fig. 6), figures the head 

 of a Mud-tortoise under the name Trionyx stellatus, var. javanicus 

 which is mottled above and below ; it probably represents this 

 species.
