FISHES. MCCULLOCH. 139 



Castelnau's description of his C. gervaisi from Cape York 

 is very incomplete, but such proportions as are given and 

 the details of the lateral line agree very well with those of 

 C. boops. This latter species has not been recorded from 

 Australia, but it has been recognised from China Strait, 

 south-eastern New Guinea, by Macleay.
