This species is very common in the brackish and fresh waters of 
the Andamans. I had a very fine specimen, 94 inches long, collected 
for me by Lieut. Protheroe, and which I have placed in the British 
Museum. Its appearance is very like that of an Ophiocephalus ; 
whilst what is more remarkable is that both have two cecal ap- 
pendages.
