As this paper deals with a part only of this large and important family, 
it is unnecessary to give any particulars at this stage, further than to say that 
so far as is known about 45 species occur in our waters, of which the following 
ten are described and figured below: — ■

Note : — For the x>orpose of facilitating an analysis of all the information acquired with 
regard to the geographical distribution of our fishes, I propose, in this and all succeeding papers, 
to divide Queensland into throe zoological districts as follow: — 
South Queensland (S.Q.). — 
Embracing all the coastline between the mouth of the Tweed River (our natural 
boundary) and the Tropic of Capricorn, the islands and reefs outlying therefrom, and the 
hinterland to the South Australian and Northern Territory Atarches; having Brisbane as its 
metropolis, and Aloreton Bay (Brisbane River), Wide Hay (Great Sandy Strait and Alary 
River), ITervey B'ay (Burnett River), and Port Curtis (Calliope River) us its principal inlets. 
Middle Queensland (Al.Q.). — 
Extending in similar fashion from the Tropic to latitude 20° S., with Rockhampton as 
its chief city, and Kepi:tel Bay (Fitzroy and Dawson Rivers), Shoalwater Bay, Broad Sound, 
Pioneer River, Repulse Bay (Proserpine River), and Edgecumbe Bay (Don River). And 
North Queensland (N.Q.). — 
Comprising Y'ork Peninsula and the Gulf of Carj)entaria, with their respective islands, 
reefs, rivers, and hinterlands south to the twentieth parallel.
