In the Indian Museum, Calcutta, there are two large 
skuUs of this species, one with its skeleton.’^ 
In the Madras Museum there is a skeleton of a Grocodilus 
porosiis “ lOJ feet (3*20 metres) long. Fort St. George Moat. 
1889.” Dr. J. R. Henderson has been so kind as to give 
me the following dimensions of the skull of this specimen : — 
Length, from a point in line with the top of the snout 
to one in line with the posterior border of the 
occipital condyle, 1 foot inches (0'469 metre). 
Length, including lower jaw, 1 foot 10 J inches 
(0*571 metre). 
Personally I have never met a really big Grocodilus 
porosus alive : the largest specimen I have seen in the flesh 
was about 12 feet (3*67metres) long ; this was in the Kedah 
River in the Malay Peninsula. 
The six largest skulls of this species that 1 have notes of 
as having actually measured are : — 
(i) A skull from the Tacheen River, Siam (in the Royal 
Siamese Museum, Bangkok) : — 
Length, without lower jaw, about 2 feet 11 J inches 
{ca. 0*901 metre). 
Breadth in front of orbits, following curve, about 
1 foot 5^ inches (ca. 0*444 metre). 
(ii) A skull, locality unknown (in the Raflies Museum, 
Singapore) : — 
Length (with lower jaw ?), about 3 feet 2^ inches 
(ca. 0*977 metre). 
Breadth in front of orbits, following curve, about 
1 foot inches (ca. 0*438 metre). 
* Mr S. W. Kemp has been so kind as to send the following measurements of these 
specimens, and to inform me that the localities from whence they came are unknown.
