 In large individuals the lunate bone of the sternum is granular 

 like the other plates, a character noticed by neither Giinther or

 Grows to probably 150 lbs. 



Inhabits Bengal and the North- Western Provinces. 

 Cantor says also ' Pinang,' but I have been unable to verify its 

 occurrence in Burmah, though from Cantors observing it to the

 Skull more elongate or taper than in Gangeticus, with the 

 mandible almost spatulate in front, and traversed inside by a 

 median groove very strongly marked. Young handsomely eyed, 

 and the species at aU ages is marked by the transverse yellow 

 bar across the nose in front of the eyes, and by conspicuous 

 yellow spots on the gape and temples. General colour " green, 

 darker on the occiput, where it is mottled with paler. Throat 

 and neck plumbeous white. Eyelids red." Cartilaginous 

 portion of carapace almost devoid of tubercles, save 3 or 4 

 indistinct ones behind. Osseous pittings of the sternal bones 

 coarser than in Gangeticus, and the lateral plates more bent 

 than is usually seen in other species. The above description 

 was furnished me from life by A. Anderson, Esq. of Futtehgarh ; 

 the shell being figured by me in Proc. As. Soc, Bengal, 1876.
