Sijtioiiymy. — Three examples, 45-68 mm. long, from Red Bank Creek, 

 Central Anstmlia, and i*eceived for examination from the Sonth Austialian 

 Museum, are topotvpes, and possibly cotypes of Kleofrh hinijiiiitu', Zietz. 

 Tlu'V ditVt'r from the description of that species in havinp the maxilla 

 extending to or beyond the anterior ocnlai- margin instead of neaily to it 

 as di'sci"ibed, and the eye is more instead of less than half the intei-ocnlar' 

 width; 1). viii;12; A. 11-12; 88-H9 scales between the axil and the 

 livjumil joint. Others from the Finke Rivei", C'entral Australia, are 

 similar, and have U. viii-ix/lS ; A. 11-12 ; 40 scales between the axil and 

 the hypnral joint. These specimens are qnite similar to the larger 

 example described above as M. )tii>(jiiniiht. 



The specimen beautifully figured iji coloui- by Weber fi'om the Aiu 

 Ishnuls is very probably correctly identified as M. mitifiinnln, but his 

 illustration shows sixteen dorsal rays, which is more than we Hnd in any 

 of our examples.
