Show 50 DR. J. E. GRAY ON THE TRIONYCHlDcE. [Jan. 7, The skull only is known, which probably belongs to Trionyx hurum, as it seems to come from a large species not uncommon in India, as is the case with T. hurum. There is a second specimen of this skull, which was given to the British Museum by Mr. Theobald as the skull of his Trionyx phayrei. It certainly was not the skull of the species which he described under that name in the • Journal of the Linnean Society,' and not that of the tortoise described under that name by Dr. Anderson. 5.
