This species has been recorded from southern New South 

 Wales, Victoria, Tasmania, South Australia and Fremantle, 

 West Australia. Three specimens are included in the "En- 

 deavour" collection which were trawled off the east coast of 

 Flinders Island, Bass Strait.

 Eleven specimens, 170-380 mm. long, prove that H. 

 farnelli, Waite, is the young of Giinther's species. From the 

 deep-bodied form, with striking dark colour-'markings, this 

 fish changes into an elongate and uniformly coloured adult. 

 The largest specimen in the collection is especially interesting 

 in that it is just intermediate between the two extremes. 

 WHiile having the general appearance of hibiosus, it has the 

 long spines and markings of farnelH, but these latter, instead 

 of being uniformly black, are composed of brown reticulating
