taken, at that time, another species for the true CRASSTCOLLIS, re- 
ceived from the Batavian Society in 1844. This error is indicated 
by Dr. Gray in the Ann. Mag. A. H. XIX, (1857), p. 348; but he 
nevertheless enumerates EH. nr@RA as a distinct race.* The Javanese 
species does not appear to be described, and may be named 
E nvucHatts, nobis, 2. s. from the unusual size of its medial 
nuchal plate, which is of a triangular shape. The next four medial 
dorsal plates are elongate, quadrangular, sub-hexagonal, the sixth 
being triangular with apex to the front. Three dorsal ridges con- 
spicuous in the young animal; the lateral placed very high upon the 
costal plates, almost submarginally. Posterior border very slightly 
dentate in the young animal ; whereas, in the young of CRASSICOLLIS, 
it is strongly dentate. Plastron flat, and laterally angulate; the 
four principal pairs of sternal plates mostly about equal and nearly 
quadrate, though in some the second pair are much shorter than 
broad, and the third pair are correspondingly enlarged. Colour, olive 
brown, obscurely mottled with darker brown, the lateral angles of 
carapace and plastron yellowish ; the latter is reddish-brown, more or 
less deeply clouded with black. Head blackish, with yellow line on 
the eye, meeting its opposite above the nostrils, another yellow line 
under the eye, a third behind the eye, a fourth bordering the upper 
jaw, and other yellow markings on the lower jaw: rest of naked parts 
yellowish infuscated above. Shell of largest specimen 62 by 4¢ in.

Emys Brrpmortt, nobis, J. A. S. XXVII, 281 v. H. ocellata apud 
nos, J. d. 8S. XXII, 645, XXIV, 481, and Batagur ocellata apud 
Gray, Ann. Mag. N. H. XIX, (1857), p. 348; but not B. ocellata, 
apud Gray, Catalogue of Shield Reptiles (1855), p. 86, which refers 
to the true EK. oceniata, Dumeril and Bibron, a species which I have 
only seen from the neighbourhood of Calcutta. The two are very 
conspicuously distinct, and are not even nearly akin, as members of 
the same genus. They will, therefore, henceforth stand as BaTaaur 
Berpmoril, nobis, from Martaban and southern Burma; and B. 
OcELLATA, (D. and B.), from Lower Bengal. 
* Dr. Gray in his catalogue of Shield Reptiles, notices specimens of BW. CRAS- 
sICOLLIs from “ India” and “Ceylon.” I doubt these habitats exceedingly. An 
American C, NIGRA is also given by Dr. Gray.
