1. Batag^ur baska, Gray 
A young specimen from the lower reaches of the-Patani River. 
2. Damon ia subtrijuga, Schlg. & Mull. 
Lower reaches of Patani River. 
3. Cyclemys amboinensis, Daud. 
Kampong Jalor. 
‘ Also common in the pools on Cape Patani, where it is frequently kept 
as a pet by the Malay children ; its fat is used as a medicine for fever.’ 
4. Cyclemys platynota, Gray 
Kampong Jalor. 
5. Cyclemys annandalii, sp. nov. 
(Plates VII and VIII) 
Belongs to the first section of the genus, including C. platynota^ dhor^ and 
mouhoti^ characterized by the plastron not completely closing the shell and 
being emarginate posteriorly, and by the separated posterior margin of the 
carapace. Agrees with C. platynota in having the suture between the pectoral 
shield and the marginals longer than that between the abdominal and the 
marginals, but differs chiefly in the stronger bicuspid beak, the denticulate 
border of the upper jaw, the more slender zygomatic arch of the skull, the 
larger axillary shield, the smaller anal shields with a deeper notch between 
them, and, normally, in the absence of a sixth vertebral shield. 
This species, with which I have much pleasure in connecting the name 
of Mr. Annandale, is founded on three specimens from Kampong Jalor ; 
two young in spirit, and a large male, preserved dry, with skin and 
skeleton. 
A. Description of the Young, 
Carapace depressed and unicarinate, with serrated posterior margin, 
vertebral shields broader than long, as broad as or a little narrower than 
the costals, first as broad, or nearly as broad, as the second. Plastron 
narrower than the opening of the shell, with deeply notched hind
