Tomistoma.

T. Krefftii.

Another much smaller species of Crocodile, which inhabits the shallow lagoons of the interior of Queensland. It seldom exceeds 6 feet in length. Dr. J. E. Gray, F.R.S., has lately described the head of the animal, which is all we know of it at present. The form is narrow and Gavial-like. A few fine young specimens of the rare Crocodilus pondicereanus have lately been purchased for the Australian Museum; these were obtained near New Guinea, and are probably found in our northern waters also.
