 64 — Australian specimens. 



The identity of the specimen from King George's Sound, charactei'ised 

 and figured by Klunzinger, remains uncertain. He counted about 66 

 scales on the lateral line, but liis figure shows only 53 pierced scales; it 

 also shows about 54 rows between the supraclavide margin and the 

 hy[)ural joint. The illustration was piepared by P^duard Konopicky, 

 however, whose work is notable for its accuracy, which suggests that 

 Klunzinger may have counted the scales incorrectly. The specimen is 

 possibly a rather slender example of K. tiydupi/dUKs, Giintlier, which 

 species has been recorded from Western Australian waters.
