These in addition to the one fCoxiiJ now described are all that 

 can be recognised as species with any certainty. Three others 

 have been named as coming from South Australia — G. ohtusa and 

 rostratus, by Klunzinger in the ''Arch fur Natur," 1872, p. 41. 

 and G. Schombergii, by Peters in the '' Monalth. Ak. Wiss. 

 Berlin," 1868, p. 455, but as these publications are not procurable 

 here, and as the authors alluded to have not thought it necessary 

 to send a copy of their Papers to any of the scientific Societies of 

 these Colonies, they cannot be aggrieved if they find their work 

 necessarily ignored. 



The species I have now described is the largest I have seen, 

 but I have no doubt that an examination of the rivers rising in 

 the Snowy Mountains, such as the upper waters of the Snowy 

 Eiver would make us acquainted with even larger species. 



The general name given to all the species of Gdlaxias is ''Trout," 

 more I should think from their spotted appearance than from 

 any actual resemblance, but like the trout they are good for the 

 table, and I feel pretty confident they would yield good sport to 

 the angler.
