SCOMBER ANTARCTICUS. 
Casteln., Proc., Zool. Soc. Vict. i, p. 106; Macleay, Aust. Cat. i, p.,190; Tenison-Woods, Fisheries of 
N.S. Wales, p. 62. 
Hab.—South and east coasts of Australia. The Southern Mackerel. Attains to 10 inches in 
length. An excellent fish if eaten quite fresh. This is not the fish figured by M‘Coy (Prodr. Zool. Vict. 
dee. ii, p. 43, pl. 28), as Scomber pneumatophorus, De la Roche, (as stated by Tenison-Woods and others) 
if Castelnau is right in stating that his species has no air-bladder. I have never seen an example of this 
mackerel, but it is difficult to make out any valid difference between it and Scomber scombrus, Linn., from 
the descriptions only.
