In the Zool. Anz. I gave a list of measurements of the shields concerning a group of 

 13 spécimens of this species. After that time I received five more spécimens captured during 

 the last Dutch expédition in 191 2. Among those the Sabang spécimen, a young one, not 

 measuring more than 88 mm., has abnormally 6 vertébral shields. The four spécimens from 

 Kloof Camp are also young, varying between 72 mm. and 112 mm. Of the three larger 

 ones two are females and one is a maie showing the vermicular impressions in the dorsal 

 shields. Ail of thèse five young ones hâve a yellow streak on the head from the eye to above 

 the tympanum ; on the snout a yellow spot.
