 grounds for regarding this latter species as distinct. Macleay 

 identified his own species from Port Jackson. 



Our examples, three in number, were obtained in 28 fathoms 

 off Broken Head. They have lost all their scales except those of 

 the lateral line, which alone are very adherent. Being thus
