SCYLLIIDiE. 
“The first dorsal fins above or behind the 
ventrals, without spine ; an anal fin. No mem- 
brange nietitans. Spiracle always distinct. Mouth 
inferior. Teeth small, several series being generally 
in function.” 
I have received Scylliv/m M.aculatum from Hobart Town, 
through Mr. Lavington Eoop ; but I have not seen it from the 
Victorian waters.

“ Two dorsal fins, with spines, the first opposite 
to the space between the pectorals and ventrals ; 
the second in advance of the anal. Nostrils and 
buccal cavity confluent. Mouth rather narrow, 
the upper lip divided into seven lobes, the lower with 
a fold. Spiracles small, below the posterior part 
of the eye. Gill-openings rather narrow. Dentition 
similar in both jaws, viz., small obtuse teeth in 
front, which in young individuals are pointed and 
provided with from three to five cups. The lateral 
teeth large, pad-like, twice as broad as long, 
arranged in oblique series, one series being formed 
by much larger teeth than those on the other 
series.
