A COLLECTION OF FISHES FROM VICTORIA AUSTRALIA 

 BY IIEKHY W. FOWLER. 



The Academy has recently received through the Conchological 

 Department a collection of marine fishes from Victoria, Australia. 

 This collection was made by Mrs. Agnes F. Kenyon, of IMelbourne, and 

 though reported in full in this paper, embraces a few specimens secured 

 in the southern Pacific which are listed in footnotes. Evidently most 

 all the others were obtained along the coast of Victoria. The entire 

 collection has been presented by the Conchological Department to the 

 Academy. Some of the specimens are in bad preservation. 



SGYIilORHINID^I. 

 Catulus analis (Ojrilby). 



Folu- egg-cases agreeing with Dr. Waite's figures. Besides these 

 there are egg-cases of other sharks which I am unable to identify, and 

 whichjprobably belong to the genera Hctcrodoutus, Scyliorhinus and 

 Crossorhinus. 



DASYATID^ 

 Trygonoptera testacea Miillor and Ilcnle. 



A tail with 2 spines and small dorsal agrees with Miiller and Henle's 

 figure. Two other large spines, the larger IOtV inches long, probably 

 belong to some species of Dasyatis. Another tail with a well-developed 

 dorsal fin close in front of the spine belongs probably to Myliobatis. 



CHIM^RID^. 

 PSYCHICHTHYS subgen. nov. 

 Type Hydrolngas ivaitei sp. nov. 

 Differs from subgenus Hydrolagus Gill, in the entire or undivided 

 dorsal.

 these fishes in Australian seas.)

Head about 5; depth about 5|: snout 1| in head; eye 6}; width of 

 mouth 3; maxillary 3^ ; interorbital space 3^; pectoral about 1 \.
