38 ANNALS OF THE QUEENSLAND MUSEUM. 
interdorsal space 21 in the base of the first dorsal. Caudal well 
developed, the upper angle pointed ; anterior border of lower lobe 
32 in the length of the upper. Anal originating below the last 
third of and about the same size as the second dorsal, its basal 
length one seventh more than its distance from the caudal, which 
is 1*65 in that from the ventral. Pectoral inserted a little nearer 
to the ventral than to the tip of the snout and not nearly extending 
to the vertical from the dorsal, the anterior and posterior borders 
convex, the outer feebly emarginate. Space between ventral and 
anal 2*7 in its distance from the pectoral. 
Spiracle pore-like, above the angle of the mouth. Gill-open- 
ings wide, the first 75 times the eye-diameter and 1*15 in the third, 
which equals the fourth and fifth. 
Sandy gray above, dull white below. 
Described from a fine mounted specimen in the Queensland 
Museum ; it was captured many years ago in Moreton Bay and 
measures 285 cm.
