14 NEW SOUTH WALES 



America. There is a species in Tasmania (Oalaxias attenuaius) very 

 closely allied to a Galaxias of New Soutli Wales wliicli is identical with 

 one found in the Falkland Islands and South America. We have also 

 in Australia a very singular southern representative of the salmon tribe 

 in our Grayling, which comes nearest to the genus Coregonus of Europe. 

 This is Prototroctes marcena, but it is not found in New South Wales. 

 All these peculiarities of our river fishes will be specially dealt with in 

 the chapter referring to the fresh-water species.
