36 UEUOIMS OF THE QUEENSLAND MUSEUM. 
These scales are wholly of a Clupeid type. Those of Konosirus thrissa 
(Philippine Is., U. S. Nat. Mns., 56105) differ conspicuously, having a single 
rather wavy transverse radius crossing the scale a little above the middle, 
and mere rudiments of radii at the sides below the middle, especially near 
the laterobasal corners. Above the transverse radius, close to the edge of the 
area covered by circuli, is a coarse irregular malleation. The scales are 
larger than those of DorosofUd cotuc, and much broadei than long. 
CLUPEID^E. 
Sardinella moluccensis Bleeker. Darnley Island. Scales about 5^ mm. 
broad and long; middle of base more or less prominently but obtusely 
lobed; circuli and radii wholly transverse; radii five, entire in normal scales, 
the lowermost arched upward; apical field thin, free from circuli; apical 
margin produced into numerous long parallel-sided strap-like teeth. Readily 
known from S. numcralis (Tampa, Florida) by the conspicuously toothed 
apical margin. 
Harengula castelnaui Ogilby. Queensland. Scales about 7 mm. broad 
and long; basal outline gently convex; circuli and radii wholly transverse;, 
radii four, or sometimes three, usually all entire ; apical margin not dentate. 
Known from II, ■perforata by the absence of perforations in the apical area, 
and the somewhat smaller number of radii. 
Amblygaster neopilchardus Steindachner. Queensland. Scales about 
7^ mm. long and 7 broad, oblique, so that one of the laterobasal angles is 
very obtuse; basal margin almost straight or feebly lobed; circuli and radii 
(except the evanescent apical ones) all transverse; radii 6 or 7, all but the 
uppermost broadly interrupted in middle, the lower ones with the inner half 
strongly oblique; the thin ax)ical field Avitli numerous fine and weak parallel 
radial lines, all imnning upAvards, and causing the margin to be subdentate. 
Stolephorus robustus Ogilby. Queensland. Scales aboiit 4^ mm. broad 
and a little over 3 long; basal margin very obtusely angulate in middle; apical 
field thin as usual, the margin coai'sely and irregularly dentate, or rather 
creiiulate, the teeth being short and obtuse; radii and circuli all transverse, 
the radii two or three, entire, the lowermost angulate in middle. There are 
frequently rudiments of radii. Compared Avith hroivnii (Cape Sable Creek) 
these scales are smaller, and much broader in proportion to their length, 
Avhile the radii of 8. hrownii are much more developed, including vertical basal 
ones, and angular or zigzag ones in the apical field. 8. l)rotv}}vi also has a 
double system of circuli, though the basal ones are much move transverse than 
those of EvigraiiUs a^itipodwni. According to the scales, anlipodurn and irowmi 
should be congeneric, Avhile 8. robnstiis stands apart.
