surface of the typical Batagurs. 2nd. A series of the Pangshura 
flaviventris of Giinther, from Delhi, where it is common; but all 
the specimens, like the one we recently received from Cuttack from 
Mr. Day, have the sternum spotted, varied with black like the other 
species of the genus; the specimens only vary in some having the 
first vertebral more or less distinctly urn-shaped or contracted on the 
sides than others. 3rd. Two adult specimens of Pangshura smithii 
from Punjab, where it is abundant, which show the permanence of 
the characters assigned to this species. 
Besides these it contains two species which had hitherto not 
occurred to me :— 
1. PANGSHURA SYLHETENSIS, Jerdon, Journ. Asiat. Soc. Beng. 
1870, p. 69. 
Shell olive-brown, strongly and sharply dentated behind. The 
sides of the back shelving, but ventricose and with a central dorsal 
prominence. First vertebral plate five-sided, truncated behind, 
rather produced in front, with a blunt keel ending in a tubercle be- 
hind; the second broadly hexangular ; the third elongate, narrowed 

Pangshura sylhetensis.
