divided. Vertebrals as long as broad or slightly longer, considerably narro- 
wer than the costals (0°75 : 1); first vertebral broader in front than the fol- 
lowing 2—4 in their greatest width; fifth vertebral much broader than the 
others. All shields more or less irregularly longitudinally suleated. Plastron 
moderately large, more than trice as long as the width of the bridge; front 
and hind lobes perfectly flat; front lobe extending sligthly beyond the front 
margin of the carapace, rounded, about as long as the hind lobe which is 
angularly notched. Intergular shield not twice as long as broad, conside- 
rably longer than the gulars, its posterior angle weged in between the two 
humerals. Suture between the humerals contained more than three times 
in the pectoral suture, the last as or nearly as long as the femoral suture 
and longer than the abdominal suture; suture between the anals shorter 
than or nearly equal with that between the abdominals. Head large, lower 
jaw wery strong, its diameter at the symphysis considerably greater than 
the diameter of the orbit. Shell uniform brown above, yellow inferiorly. 
This species appears to have a more extensive geographical distribu- 
tion than was known. There.are several specimens in the British Museum 
from the Burnett River and Gayndah (Queensland),! it was recently brought 
from the Burnett River by Dr. RICHARD Semon ;? many specimens are in the 
St.-Petersbourg Museum from Port Bowen and Gayndah;? and it is now 
discowered in New Guinea.
