covered with scales ; lateral line running over about forty scales ; 

 these rather large and ciliated on their edges ; first dorsal placed

 lono-est ; the secDud dorsal is well separated from the first ; 

 it is formed of one slender spine and ten rays; the caudal

I described this species from a specimen from the Swan river, 

 buti find several in Mr. Gulliver's collection from the Norman river; 

 these are preserved in spirits and in a much better state than those I 

 had seen previously. I find that the dorsal has, apart from the 

 twelve spines of its first portion, a long straight one belonging to

The specimen on which I formed this species is not now in my

 with the type ; but 1 have very little doubt that they belong to the
