Galaxias nigothoruk Lucas, Proc. Roy. Soc. Victoria, (2) iv. 
1892, p. 28. 
Lower jaw with distinct lateral canines. Depth of body 5-6 
in the length, length of head 44-5. Snout as long as or a 
little longer than eye, the CHEN OER of which is 4-5 in the 
length of “head, interorbital width 2-23. Jaws equal anteriorly ; 
maxillary extending nearly to below middle of eye. 7 or 8 
branchiostegals. 8-9 gill-rakers on the lower part of the anterior 
arch. Dorsal IV 7-9; distance from origin of dorsal to base of 
caudal 37-4 in the length of the fish. Anal TV—V 8-10, com- 
mencing alow or in advance of the middle of dorsal, when laid 
back extending to the base of caudal. Pectoral extending about 
1 of the distance from its base to the base of ventral. Ventrals 
ie rayed, originating at a point equidistant from eye and base of 
caudal or from middle of pectoral and origin of anal, extending 
more than 4 of the distance from their base to the origin of Ba 
Caudal slightly emarginate. Caudal peduncle as long as ora little 
longer than deep. Br ownish, with numerous small dark spots or 
vertical streaks; a more or less distinct dark vertical bar above the 
base of pectoral; fins usually dusky. 
Victoria; New South Wales. 
1. (95 mm.) one of the type Nigothoruk, Victoria. Prof, A. Dendy. 
of G. nigothoruk. 
9-6. (145-180 mm.) Australian Mus. 
The specimens receivec: from the Australian Museum, without 
name and without locality, evidently correspond to Macleay’s 
Galaxias coxti, from Mt. Wilson, New South Wales, and may 
probably be regarded as the types of that species.

fish. Anal [V-V 8- 9, commencing below the middle “of dorsal, 
when laid back not reaching the ca udal. Pectoral extending nearly 
2 of the distance from its base to the base of ventral. Ventrals 
(-rayed, originating at a point about equidistant from eye and 
base of caudal or from anterior part of pectoral and origin of anal, 
extending 4 or nearly 2 of the distance from their base to the 
origin of anal. Caudal slightly emarginate. Caudal peduncle
