 Only one specimen of this common southern species was 

 preserved. It is fifteen inches long and was obtained ofT Cape 

 Everard, Victoria, in 70 fathoms. 



There seems to be little doubt that P. palmatus, Klunzinger, 

 from Hobson's Bay, Port Phillip, is identical with the common

 Klunzinger compared his fish with P. breviusculus, Richard- 

 son, only, indicates that he was unaware of Giinther's species.
