along the whole border. The interdigital web appears to have been less

‘Numerous specimens were brought to us at Kampongjalor by natives, who 
frequently keep this tortoise in captivity, boring a hole in the posterior margin 
of the carapace, and tying a string, passed through this, to their house-posts. 
We were prevented from preserving more than one large specimen by the 
bulk, and by the difficulty experienced in killing tortoises. The adult appears 
to be largely terrestrial in habits, but it is probable that the young are 
aquatic. The species probably attains a bulk considerably greater than that 
of our adult specimen.’
