seen it in Victoria, uor is there a record of its occurrence in New 

 South Wales. We have, it will be remembered, a similar but 

 even more remarkable distribution in the case of Physignathus 

 lesueurii, where the same species occurs in Queensland and in 

 Gippsland streams, but not in the intervening rivers.* 



These remarks were based on the information given as to localities in the 

 B. M. Catalogue (second edition). Subsequently we ascertained that both 

 the species referred to have been recorded from the Clarence River, N.S.W., 

 H. gtrrardii by the late Mr, Krefft ("Australian Vertebrata," 1871) and 

 Physifjnathushy Dr. Giinther [Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist. (3), xx. p. 51 (1867)].
