 Physiculus barbatus, Waite, Mem. N.S. Wales Nat. Club, 



1904, p. 24. 

 Only one specimen of this common southern species was 

 preserved. It is fifteen inches long and was obtained off Cape 

 Everard, Victoria, in 70 fathoms. 



There seems to be little doubt that P. palmatus, Klunzinger, 

 from Hobson's Bay, Port Phillip, is identical with the common 

 \'ictorian Rock Cod since the description agrees perfectly \\ ith 

 that given by McCoy of the latter species. The fact that 

 Klunzinger compared his fish with P. breviusculus, Richard- 

 son, only, indicates that he was unaware of Giinther's species.
