TliijiniKS apinis (Cantor), Macleay, Proc. Linn. See. N.S.Wales, 

 v., 1881, p. 556. 



Two line examples, 710 and 745 mm. long, Tvere forwarded 

 to the Australian Museum by Mr. C. H. Gorrick. He 

 secured them on a rod out of an enormous shoal, while 

 trolling a gar-fish bait at the entrance to Port Stephens, 

 New South Wales. The tish were so numerous that the 

 movements of the shoal " lashed the surface of the water 

 into foam." 



This species was recorded from Port Jackson by Macleay 

 in 1881, since which time it has not been recognised in 

 Australian waters until rediscovered by Mr. Gorrick. 



Family GOBIID^. 



The three Gobies here described and figuied do not enter 

 the typical genus Gobius in its restricted form. It is probable 

 that new subdivisions will be found necessary to accomodate 

 them, but as I am unable to lefer to many of those already 

 defined, it is better to leave them in abeyance until a revision 

 of the Australian species can be undertaken.
