CONTRIBUTION 
TO THE 
ICHTHYOLOGY OF AUSTRALIA. 
By Count F. De Castelnau. 
No. III. — SUPPLEMENT TO THE FISHES OF 
VICTORIA. 
Since my last year's paper, very few new sorts have been 
obtained. The fish market has been very poorly provided, 
and the fishmongers seem to have decided only to purchase 
from the fishermen about a dozen of the edible sorts, as nearly 
none of the curious forms which used to appear from time to 
time have been observed during the last year. On the whole, 
the market has been even more scantily provided than on the 
previous years. 
Before giving a full description of the sorts new to the 
Victorian Fauna that I have observed, I will submit a few 
notes taken on sorts already mentioned : 
GBRRES MELBOURNENSIS. 
In the male we find the prseorbital forms on each side, a 
small spine in front. 
LATRIS HECATEIA. 
{Hobart Town Trumpeter.) 
The 12th of July I saw a specimen weighing twenty-five 
pounds.
