Tliis species appears to differ fi-nni L. inorihix pi-iricipally in its 

 pi'oportidiis, and in having fewer dorsal and anal rays. The dorsal tin 

 commences a little fai-ther foi-ward, and the median niandibnlar barbies 

 ai'e paired on each side. 



The above proportions are tliose of a specimen 185 mm. long, from 

 tlie Riclimond River. The illustration is prepai-ed i'rom a small example 

 92 mm. long, from an unknown locality, in which the cephalic lidges 

 are well preserved. 



Sij II 0)111 ))ii/. — We have examined the holotype of Aiiihli/njnis iiiijf-r, T)e 

 Vis, and tind it quite similar to the specimens described and figured. Tt 

 is much slirivelled and quite black, but has tlie cephalic ridges and f)t]ier 

 characters of L. purpitrdsct'iix.

This briefly characterised species has not been recognised since it was 

 fii'st secured by Kent in the Cambridge Gulf, North-western Australia. 

 It is perhaps incorrectly associated with Tifuioides.

 mandible with minute papilla^. Teeth in a narrow band in each jaw, the 

 outer row of which is largest ; a few stronger inner teeth on each side of 

 the mandibular .symphysis. Tongue partly free, truncate or rounded
