The synoniiny, thus rectified, will be as follows ; — 
AEEIPIS GEOEGIANUS. 
Centropristes georgianus, Guv. Sf Val., vii. 451. 
Arripis georgianus, Bichard.; Gunther ; Jenyns. 
(The Bouglify.) 
There can he no doubt about this determination, as Cuvier 
says that this sort has fourteen soft rays at the dorsal. The 
numbers are : —

G-rey on the back ; the other parts silvery ; slight and rather 
irregular transverse gilt bands, which become dark on the upper 
part of the body ; dorsal of a dirty yellow, with upper edge 
obscure ; pectorals grey ; ventrals and anale white ; eye yellow. 
The very fresh specimens have a general gilt tinge, and the 
back green. I have seen during the hot months (December and 
January^ several specimens entirely of an uniform colour, 
without spots. 
This sort is very common all the year round, and always 
remains small. When not fresh it is often poisonous ; it is 
easily recognised by the roughness of its surface, caused by 
its scales being strongly ciliated. The mouth is very exten- 
sible.

The adult fish is the salmon of the Australian fishermen, and their
