When in Hobart in 1914, I was enabled to examine the type 

 of Fi^eudochroDiis roiJiraiji which is preserved in the Tasnianian 

 Museum. It was in very bad condition, but a comparison of 

 it with a well-preserved s{)ecimen of T. ca>idi»fi'Ciihifiis]eH no 

 doubt as to the identity of the two. The differences in the 

 number of tin ravs and spines as griven bv McCov and Johnston 

 are accounted for bj' the shrivelled condition of the latter 

 author's specimen. 



T. cund{niiicHl((tu>< has been recently recognised from Tas- 

 mania by Hall.

Glossuiuia was founded by Gill upon Apugon aprivn, 

 Richardson, which is a fresh-water species confined to 

 Northern Australia. It was later used for a deep-water flsh, 

 (t. pandionis, from the Atlantic by Goode and Bean, but 

 that species is not congeneric with Gill's type. 



Mionoriii:, Krefft, Avas also based on a fresh-water fish, 

 J/, luiiatu;-, from New South "Wales, but it has since been 

 wrongly used to accommodate marine species of the same 

 family by several American authoi's. 1 have compared 

 Kreftt's type, which is preserved in the Australian Museum, 

 with the specimens here identified as Glossamia aprioti, and 

 find the differences between them to be of specific value only.
