338 THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE LINNEAN SOCIETY 



The two anal spines are terminated each by a broad tentacular 

 appendage — the anal rays are shorter than those of the dorsal. 

 Tail somewhat rounded. Colour entirely black. 



There is much that is anomalous and unlike a Salarias in this 

 fish, but yet there seems to be no valid reason for removing it 

 from that genus. It was captured at Cape York.
