Hal). From the Andaman Islands through the Indo- 

 Australiau Archipelago to Australia and the Pacific; 

 Australia; Thursday Island, Torres Strait (Kent) ; Port 

 Stephens, N. S. Wales (Ramsay- lineata). 



McCulloch suggests (1921) that 8. lineata may be 

 the young of S. microcephalus., but this seems to me im- 

 probable. S. lineata is much closer to 8. nigrostriolata 

 of Steindachner and Kner, which, as far as I am able to 

 judge from an examination of seven examples, is identical 

 with 8. heterorhinos.
