  of 
  the 
  

   British 
  Museum 
  from 
  Tambararo, 
  in 
  Portuguese 
  Southeast

   is 
  a 
  very 
  large 
  male, 
  about 
  the 
  largest 
  I 
  have 
  ever 
  seen. 
  The 
  skin 
  is 
  

   folded 
  over 
  on 
  itself 
  so 
  as 
  to 
  make 
  it 
  impossible 
  to 
  give 
  proper 
  measure- 
  

   ments 
  of 
  the 
  body, 
  which 
  indeed 
  are 
  never 
  accurate 
  when 
  taken 
  from 
  

   a 
  dried 
  skin, 
  but 
  the 
  great 
  length 
  of 
  the 
  tail, 
  730 
  mm. 
  which 
  is
