FLATFISHES. NORMAX. 239 



Hab. Coasts of Australia, from Fremantle, Western 

 Australia, to Bustard Head, Southern Queensland. 6 



Described from 18 examples, 122-350 mm. in total 

 length, including the types of the species. 



E.1979. 20 miles off Bustard Head Light, Queens- 

 land; 20 fathoms. 



E.2608-9. 3-7 miles N.W. of Hervey Bay, Queens- 

 land, Fairway Buoy; 9-11 fathoms. 



E.6649. 3-7 miles X.W. of Hervey Bay, Queens- 

 land, Fairway Buoy; 9 11 fathoms. 



E.6680-1. 3-7 'miles N.W. of Hervey Bay, Queens- 

 land, Fairway Buoy; 9-11 fathoms. 



Pseudorhombus moorei, Thominot, from Melbourne, 

 probably belongs to this species, but has somewhat fewer 

 dorsal and anal rays. Dr. Pellegriu, of the Paris 

 Museum, informs me that unfortunately the type of 

 this species cannot be found. 



I have carefully compared a number of examples 

 representing Ogilby's P. novcc-cambrice with the types of 

 P. multimaculatus, and consider the two species identical. 



9. Pseudorhombus anotnalus. 

 [Ocellated Flounder.] 



Pseudorhombus anomalus, Ogilby, Mem. Queensland 



Mus., I, 1912, p. 48. 



Very near P. multimaculatus. Gill-rakers rather 

 long and slender, mostly smooth ; 10 on lower part of 

 anterior arch. 84 scales in a longitudinal series above 

 lateral line. Dorsal 64. Anal 53. Chocolate-brown; 

 body with a number of irregularly disposed oval or round 

 annular markings, variable in size, each containing a 

 more or less central black spot; head with a few black 

 spots, but without annular markings; vertical tins 

 flecked and speckled with black. 



Hab. Moreton Bay, Queensland. 



Known only from the type (142 mm.) in the Queens- 

 land Museum. 7 



6 Two examples from St. Vincent Gulf, South Australia 

 examined by me do not differ in any way from specimens taken on 

 the East Coast of Australia. Steindachner's (Sitzber. K. Ak. Wiss., 

 Ivi, Abt. 1, 1867, p. 318) record of this species from Cape York is 

 probably incorrect. 



7 1 am indebted to the Director of the Queensland Museum for 

 an illustration of the type specimen.
