The following fifteen species are, it is believed, here recorded 
for the first time from Queensland waters — 
1. Stegostoma tigrinuh (Graelin), Syst. Nat., p. 1493, 1788 ;. 
fam. Orectolobidce. Specimens are in the Museum from Cape 
York and Normanton. This shark occurs as a straggler as 
far south as Port Jackson. 
2. Orectolobus dasypogon (Bleeker), Arch. Neerl., 1867, p. 400; 
fam. OrectolobidcB. Occurs at Dunk Island. 
3. Sphyrna tudes (Cuvier MS. — Valenciennes), Mem. Mus., ix, 
1822, p. 225 ; fam. Sphyrnidce. This is the common 
" hammerhead " of Moreton Bay, from whence I have seen 
several specimens. I have also handled one from the Tweed 
Heads, which entitles the species to inclusion in the fauna of 
New South Wales. Not hitherto recorded from Australia. 
4. Sphyrna blochii (Cuvier MS. — Valenciennes), Mem. Mus. 
ix, 1822, p. 227 ; fam. ead. The Museum possesses a couple 
of fetal examples of this unmistakeable shark taken from a 
female killed in Rockingham Bay. A new record for 
Australia. 
5. Pristis zEpnYREUs Jordan & Starks, Pishes of Sinaloa, 
p. 383, 1895 ; fam. Pristidce. A pair of rostra from the 
Queensland Coast in the State Museum appear to agree 
more nearly with this species than with the typical P. 
perrotteti, the only other form with which it could be 
confounded. A new Australian record.
