extreme localities aj^free in these cliacactei's, while others differ, proves that 

 these are merely individual variations, and not subspecific characters. 

 This variation, as exemplified by thirty-three specimens is shown in the 

 following: table. 



The scales on the nape are veiy large and regular in most of the 

 Queensland specimens, while they are usually small and irregular in 

 those from southern localities ; but we have examples in which they are 

 of intermediate size from both the northern and southern parts of their 

 range, and a few from Eidsvold in which they are quite as small as those 

 from Narrandera. 



Nomenclature If it be considered that the name C. Iclnnzingeri, 



Ogilby, 1898, is preoccupied by Eleotris l-lniizingerii, Pfeffer, 1893, it will 

 be necessary to propose a new name for this species. Since the two do 

 not enter the same genus, however, there appears to be no necessity for 

 this course.
