‘Fringed Wobbegong.”’ 
Body robust, the head being rather less than one-fourth 
of the total length. Snout broadly rounded and flattened 
above. Nasal cirrus with two or three simple or bifurcated 
lobes on their outer margins; the space between their 
bases equal to one-third the width of the mouth, and one- 
half that of the interorbital space. Upper eyelid with two 
papillze. About six more or less branched dermal lobes on 
the upper lip, the outermost the longest. From behind the 
angle of the mouth to below the first gill-opening is a row 
of fourteen or more much branched lobes which are disposd 
in three groups, those of the first being the longest. Chin 
with a row of similar lobes of which the median are the 
longest. Gill-openings decreasing in size backwards to the 
fourth, the fifth being larger; the first and second are 
more widely spaced than the others. First dorsal fin origin- 
ating in front of the posterior base of the ventral, and well 
behind the middle of the length; its anterior and outer 
borders gently convex with the angles rounded, and the 
hinder border straight. Second dorsal similar in shape but 
rather smaller and originating at a point one-third of the 
distance between the anterior base of the first dorsal and 
the end of the tail. Anal fin commencing below the hinder 
base of the second dorsal; its anterior margin slightly con- 
vex and the posterior rounded. Length of the caudal about 
59°00 in the total length. Pectoral originating nearer to 
the tip of the snout than to the base of the ventral; the
