FAMILY APLODACTYL1DJ1 (Morwongs). 

 Cheilodactylus spectabilis Hutton Brown-banded Morwony. 



Two examples of this interesting species of morwong, measuring 

 respectively 395 and 575 mm. (15 f^ and 22 f inches), have been 

 obtained on our coast for the first time. The larger of the two 

 was captured by Mr. Fred Aldrich, an officer of this Department, 

 during August, 1 903, by means of a trammel net, the locality 

 being about one mile south of Jibbon Head, Port Hacking. The 

 smaller specimen was taken also in the trammel net by Mr. 

 Dannevig during January, 1904, at the mouth of the Wonboyn.
