Remark: — A variation in the number of temporals seems to be 

 very common. Thus, specimen No. 27 of the Formosan Museum has 

 the upper shield of first row nearly divided into three portions ; the 

 same shield in specimen No. 28 of the same collection is semidivided 

 on the right side ; that in specimen No. 29 is divided into two shields, 

 while the lower shield is coalcscent with the third of second row.
