134 MEMOIRS OF THE QUEENSLAND MUSEUM. 



name, then for the first time published as a correctly presented specific name ; 

 I, therefore, restore it to its proper place. This species, known throughout 

 Queensland and along the entire watershed of the Darling as the ' ' bony bream, ' ' 

 appears to be generally distributed through the fresh waters of Australia, with 

 the exception of the Middle and Southern eismontane Districts of New South 

 AVales and Victoria, even ranging as far north as the fresh waters of the 

 Carpentaria hinterland, whence the Queensland Museum has lately received a 

 specimen from the Xorman River. Our marine species is, however, D. nasus 

 (Bloch). 37 I am unable to reeognise Konosirus Jordan & Snyder 38 as a genus 

 distinct from Dorosom<i.' ] 



CLUPEID^E. 

 DUSSUMIERIA HASSELTII Bleeker. 4 " 

 The Queensland Museum possesses two examples of this fish, collected many 

 years ago at Cape York by Mr. Kendal Broadbent. This is the first Australian 

 record of the species. 



PERCOIDEI. 



CHEILODIPTERLDJE. 

 GLOSSAMIA APRION (Richardson)." 

 Through the kindness of Dr. Chas. J. Taylor of Normanton the Queens- 

 land Museum has lately acquired a fine example of this fish from the fresh 

 water of the Norman River. The specimen, a male of 178 millim., has the mouth 

 crammed with ova in a very forward state, thus adding another to the long list 

 of cheilodipterids, which employ this method of hatching out their young. The 

 only previous knowledge I have of this fish is Richardson's description of the 

 type from Port Essington, N.T. It is, therefore, an addition to the Queensland 

 fauna. 



CARANGIDiE. 



An examination of the type of Caranx auriga de Vis 42 shows it to be a 

 typical Citula oMonga. 43 Though the correction was never published this was, 

 I imagine, recognized by Mr. de Vis, as the bottle which held the type also 

 contained two examples of C. oblonga, correctly labeled in his own handwriting. 

 Four years ago Seale described a Philippine species as Caranx auriga,' 14 and as 

 that name can not of course stand, I propose Citula virga as a substitute name 

 for that species.
