A small specimen of this fish (Qld. Mus. No. I. 13/1527) was labelled with a 
manuscript name by Ogilby, but since it agrees excellently with Cuvier and 
Valenciennes’ description and with Richardson’s figure, a new name is unnecessary. 
It came from the Brisbane River (A.F.A.Q.). 
Others labelled Psammoperca sp. from Lindeman Island (I. 5345) ; coll. 
Melbourne Ward, and from Four-foot Rocks, off Cape Cleveland (I. 5611) ; presented 
George Coates. The colours of the latter specimen, which was sent to Brisbane on ice, 
were noted by Mr. T. C. Marshall, as follows : — 
“ General body colour light drab, darker on the back and jmssing into dirty 
white flecked with grey on the belly, each scale fairly clearly outlined in drab. Fourteen 
or fifteen pale orange-cimiamon lines on each side running horizontally along the 
body from operculum to caudal base, and showing strongest below lateral line. Soft 
dorsal, anal, and caudal fuscous. Spiny dorsal, pectoral and ventrals hair-brown, 
darker at their extremities. Head slightly darker than body with lips pinkish-white. 
Eye : iris surrounded by grey shot with golden reflections and separated by a narrow 
pale gold ring. 
“ Colours taken from Ridgway, 1912 edition.” 
Family ARRIPIDAE. 
Genus ARRIPIS Jenyns, 1840. 
ARRIPIS TRUTTA (Bloch and Selineider). 
Sciaena trutta Bloch and Schneider, Syst. Ichth. 1801, p. 542. Ex. Forster MS. Queen 
Charlotte Sound, New Zealand. 
Arripis truttaceus McCoy, Prodromus Zool. Viet. dec. u, 1878, p. 19, pis. xvi-xvii. (Victoria). 
That the Kahawai (generally miscalled Salmon ”) occurs in SoutJi Queensland 
is demonstrated by notes and photograplis of a specimen which Ogilby sent to 
McCulloch in 1918. A second specimen, probably from Moreton Bay, was described 
long ago by De \is on page 103 of his unpublished MSS. notes, preserved in the 
Queensland Museum. This species is common in Southern Australia and New Zealand 
and apparently occasionally wanders as far north as Brisbane, though it is evidently 
rare north of the Clarence River district, New South Wales. 
New record for Queensland.
