It has been supposed that there are two species of the Indian Cro- 

 codile ; but so far as I know, nobody has yet been able to distinguish 

 correctly between them. I have discovered, however, what I consider 

 to be undoubted signs : — viz. the cranium of the one has one tooth 

 more than the other > and is much broader in proportion. Several 

 specimens in the Society's Museum, shew this.
