(Plate XIV, fig. 1.) 



A SMALL collection of fishes from Queensland waters has been submitted 

 to me for examination by the Director of the Queensland Museum. Most of these 

 were obtained by the trawler '^ Bar-ea-mul " during her investigations on the 

 Qvieensland coast. They include several species not previously recognised from 

 Australian waters. 



Family CLUPEID.^. 



ILISHA HCEVENNI Bleekei. 

 Pellona hcevenii Bleeker, Verb. Bat. Gen. xxiv, 1852, Haring. p. 21. Id. Weber and Beaufort,

A specimen from Queensland, 163 mm. long, is the first of the genus to be 

 recognised from Australian waters. It is similar to a smaller specimen from 

 Amboyna, which was part of Dr. Bleeker's collection, but differs from his figure in 

 having colourless fins and a dark ill-defined shoulder-spot. 



Locality. — Between Cairns and Rockhampton, Queensland. 



Family MENID.E. 



MENE MACULATA Bloch & Schneider. 

 3Iene maculata (Bloch & Schneider) Valenciennes, Regne Anim. Illustr. Poiss., 1843, p. 139, pi.

Two specimens, 163 and 172 mm. long, were trawled between Cairns and 

 Rockhampton, Queensland. This monotypic family has not been previously 

 recognised from Australian waters.* 



♦Editor's Note. — Day's figure of Mene maculata has been reproduced from " Fishes of 

 India," pi. 53, to illustrate this new Australian record (Plate xiv, fig. 2).
