^* I include this unmistakable species on the strength of a fine specimen, from Moreton 

 Bay, exhibited in the Fisheries Court of the Brisbane National Association's Show of 1909. This 

 is the only authentic occurrence of which I can find any record. 



1* Owing to the previous confusion between this species and the succeeding, the exact northern 

 range of O. maculatus can not be definitely fixed, but it is much the rarer of the two in Moreton 

 Bay.
