An example, 240 mm. long from the snout to the end of 

 the middle caudal rays, was recently secured by Inspector 

 Smithers in the Sydney markets. It differs from the larger 

 type specimen in having the upper profile of the head less 

 tumid ; the eye is larger, 3.4 in the head, and the canine 

 teeth are less developed ; it also lacks the dark band which 

 crosses the body from the back to the abdomen in the type. 

 Two other larger examples from Lord Howe Island sliow 

 that these differences ai-e merely due to age.
