Only a few of the present species belong to forms, which 

 are restricted in their distribution to Australian waters, viz. Glu- 

 pea schlegelii, Arrhamphus sclerolepis, Chrysophrys australis, 

 (ranging to New Hebrides), Caranx hucculentus, and Gobioso- 

 ma guttulatum. 



All the above species were collected in the Roebuck Bay, 

 except Pristipoma hasta and Chrysophrys australis, which 

 were caught at Port Darwin. 



About the faunistical elements of the fish fauna from the 

 coast of the Kimberley District, I have already made some re- 

 marks in my previous paper quoted above. The material now 

 under consideration gives no further points of view to these 

 elements. 



The fishes collected in fresh water. 



Twenty-four species were collected in fresh water by Dr. 

 Dahl. No less than seven of these have proved to be new to 

 science, viz. Anodontiglanis (gen. nov.) dahli, Copidoglanis 

 glencoensis, Copidoglanis obscurus, Rhombosoma trifasciata, 

 Terapon alligatoris, Ambassis dalyensis, and Eleotris dalyensis. 



The distribution of the other species may be seen from the 

 following table.
