 OXYNOTUS BRUNIENSIS Ogilby. 



Oxynotus bruniensis (Ogilby) McCulloch, Biol. Res. 

 Endeavour ii. 3, 1914, p. 80, pi. xiii. 



A specimen trawled off Gabo Island, Victoria, 

 extends the known range of this species northward to 

 near the New South Wales border. 



Family RHINOBATID^. 



RHYNCHOBATUS DJIDDENSIS Forskal. 



Rhi/Hchobatux djeddensis Day, Fish. India, 1878, p. 730, 

 pi. cxcii, fig. I. Id. Ogilby, Proc. Linn. Soc. N. S. 

 Wales x, 1885, p. 465, and Ann. Qld. Mus. ix, 1908, 

 p. 5, and Mem. Qld. Mus. v, 1916, p. 84. 



A specimen 610 mm. long, agrees in all details with 

 Day's figure of this species. It was apparently trawled 

 in Queensland waters, but no particulars were supplied 

 with it. According to Ogilby (loc. tit., 1916), the 

 "Endeavour" took the species off Cartwright Point and 

 off North-West Islet, Queensland. 



RHINOBATUS BANKSII Milller and Henle. 



Shovel-nosed Ray.

RJiinobatus banksil (Miiller and Ilenle) Waite, Mem. 

 Austr. Mus. iv, 1, 1899, p. 38, pi. iii. Id. Ogilby, 

 Mem. Qld. Mus. v, 1916, p. 85, fig. 1 (vide synonymy). 



Rhinobatua vincentianus Haacke, Zool. Anz. viii, 1885, 

 pp. 488 and 508. 



Rhinobatus philippi Garman, Mem. Mus. Cornp. Zool. 

 xxxvi, 1913, p. 278 (part). Id. Waite, Rec. S. Austr. 

 Mus. ii, 1, 1921, p. 27 (? not R. philippi Miiller and 

 Henle). 



Nine small specimens from Queensland, 350-465 mm. 

 long, exhibit but little variation, though the dorsal and 

 cephalic tubercles are a little more numerous and better 

 developed in some than in others. They do not differ 

 from specimens of the same size from Port Jackson.
