Cephulopholis boninius Jordan and Thompson (Mem. Carneg. Mus. vi, 4^ 
September, 1914, p. 248, pi. xxix, fig. 7) from the Bonin Islands is apparently a 
synonym of C. formosanus Tanaka (Fish. Japan, ii, June 1911, p. 24, pi. vii, fig. 22) 
from Formosa. Another Japanese species was named Sciaena fusca by Bose (Nouv. 
Diet. Hist. Nat. ed. 2, xvii, 1817, p. 146), but his name is preoccupied by S. fusca 
Mitchell (Trans. Lit. Phil. Soc. N. York, i, 1815, p. 409 Pogonias), but Bose’s fish 
is evidently a Cephalopholis boenack (Bloch, 1790). 
Cephalopholis mars (De Vis, 1884) is the Queensland representative of C.. 
urodelus (Cuvier and Valenciennes, 1828) from Oceania.

MACCULLOCHELLA MACQUARIENSIS (Cuvier and Valenciennes). 
At the request of the Chief Secretary’s Department, Sydney, I have compiled 
a chronological list of references in literature to the Murray Cod. This species is of 
much economic importance, so that it is hoped that the present list will be of value to 
field investigators by bringing all the known sources of information under one heading. 
I very much doubt whether Homodemus cavifrons De Vis, from the Tully 
River, is really a Murray Cod, as Boulenger contentled, and regard this extension of 
its range into North Queensland and away from the Murray- Darling river-system as 
an erroneous record. Mr. T. C. Marshall states, I am unable to trace De \is type 
.... In our card catalogue is a comment in De Vis’ handwriting as follows : — 
^ BouL, B.M.C. (2) 1-152 wi'ongly refers this to OUgorus macqitariensis' ” 
The Murray Cod inhabits all the rivers of the Murray- Darling system from their 
sources in Queensland and west of the Dividing Range right down to the mouth of 
tlie Murray in South Australia. In northern New South Wales, it has trespassed upon 
the eastern watershed, being found naturally in the Richmond and Clarence systems. 
It is of course common in the Murrumbidgee and is found in the Federal Capital 
Territory. In Victoria, it inhabits the northern rivers alHed to the IVIurray. The species
