Crocodilns porosus, Cantor, p. 16 ; Giinthei-, Eept. Brit. Ind. p. 62. 



Grocodilus pondicerianus, Giinther, llept. Brit. Ind. p. 62, pi. vii. 



Grocodilus porosus, Boul. C<at. Chel. etc. p. 284. 



Cantor says this species is exceedingly numerous in the Malay 

 Peninsula, Penang, and Singapore. Stoliuzka (J. A. S. B. 1873, 

 p. 113) found it in the collection he got from Penang and Province 

 Wellesley. There are several stuffed specimens and a large skull 

 of this species in the Baffles Museum ; one shot by Mr. Owen at 

 Serangoon, Singapore, measures 4-7 metres in total length. In 

 April 1895 I saw many Crocodiles of this species on the Kedah 

 river, between Kuala Kedah and Kota Star, when lying up on the 

 mud-banks under the trees ; their markings and vivid yellow and 

 black colouring render them hard to see in the chequered light 

 coming through the foliage. I have also seen this species on the 

 Pandan river, Singapore. It is probably found in every suitable 

 locality in Malaya.

Cantor says that this species is numerous at Penang and on the 

 coast of the Peninsula, but appears to be less so than Grocodilus 

 porosus. There is a young specimen from Singapore in the British 

 Museum.

 Penang hill ; " he subsequently found it in the collection he got 

 from Penang and Province Wellesley (J. A. S. B. 1873, p. 113).
