Dr. J. C. Cox informs me that immediately after the same storm 
in February 1898, in company with Major Ferguson, he observed 
a specimen of Pelagodromci marina between Cockatoo Island and 
Iron Cove, skipping over the surface of the water and following 
in the wake of their boat. Living examples of this species are 
extremely rare in New South Wales waters, and are only seen 
after unusually severe easterly or southerly gales.
