6. Chrysophris australis, Gnth. Bream. 



This fish is found both in fresh, brackish, and salt water, and 

 has a wide distribution. 



6. Arripis Georgianus, Cuv. and Val. Tommy Kough. 



Native name, "Wanhaldee." 

 A marine species, but said to occur also in the Lower 

 Mui-ray. 



7. Agonostoma diemensis, Richs. Fresh Water Mullet. 



Native name, ''Comnuret.^' 

 This excellent food fish is very numerous in the Murray, but 

 I do not know how far up the river it occurs. I have also 

 seen specimens caught in the Port Adelaide River. 



8. MuGiL DOBULA, Guth. Jumping Mullet. 



Native name, "WanJcaree.' 

 I have seen large shoals of this fish in the Murray at Goolwa, 

 but it is also found in the Onkaparinga, Port Adelaide River, 

 and in many other localities on our coast. 



9. SciAKNA AQUiLA, Risso. MuUoway. 



Native name, "Mullowai/." 

 This widely distributed marine species, which attains a large 

 size, is sometimes found in great numbers. It enters rivers, 

 and is sometimes found beyond the influence of the tide. 



10. CoPiDOGLANis TANDANUS, Mitch. Catfish. 



Native name, ''Pamnioree.^' 

 This fresh water fish is very common in the river, as may 

 be judged from the gi'eat number of fish occasionally seen in the 

 market. 



11. PsEUDO-APHRiTES Bassii, Castl. Sanding. 



Native name, "Con gal dee..'' 

 This fish, which attains a length of about 1 ft., is fairly^ 

 common on our coast. It is abundant in the River Murray, 

 and in the River Torrens, near Adelaide, but it is also found in 

 many of the larger creeks. It is good eating, but its main 

 importance is its use by the fishermen as bait for catching^ 

 MuUoway. Some years ago it was known to science by only 

 a single Sipecimen, but has since been discovered at other locali- 

 ties, including the Yarra, near Melbourne, whence I have 

 received several specimens. 



12. Chatoessus erebi. Rich. Bony Bream. 



Native name, '^Tuhlmree!' 

 Although fairly common species in Lake Alexandrina, it ia 

 seldom used by white men as an article of food. But it is fre- 

 quently consumed by the aborigines.
