 Ihe collection includes two males, one from Shoalhaven 

 Bight, New South Wales, 15-45 fathoms, and the other from 

 off Babel Island, Bass Strait. Ogilby^ has suggested that the 

 specimen doubtfully recorded from Tasmania by R. M. John- 

 ston as Scylliuni inacuhitinu is really this species, and this 

 view is confirmed by the second "Endea\'our" specimen. 



The size of the anal fin is variable in different specimens of 

 this species and therefore cannot be relied upon as has been 

 done by Regan in his key to the species of Scyliorhiuus.
