The Australian Museum possesses a specimen of the Orossorhinus ornatus of De Vis, taken at Port 
Stephens, but I can only consider it to be a well-marked variety of the ordinary form. A second specimen 
brought in from Port Jackson to-day (28th Sept., 1885) confirms this opinion ; it measures 44 feet.
