The single specimen from Port Jackson in the Australian Museum agrees pretty well with the 
species to which I have referred it, except that it has only eight pectoral rays; should further examina- 
tion disclose other differences sufficient to authorize its specific separation, | would propose pauciradiatus 
as a suitable name.
