222 niillim. {fith ]\lc(-'ullo{‘h in lit.) in the neig‘lil)()nrhood of Cape (Trenville, 
X.Q., in 1875, these siihseipiently beeoining the types of Alley ne and ]\Taeleay s 
species. From that time nntil ((uite lately this interesting trevally was wholly 
lost sight of, the only r(‘ferenee to it between 1877 and the present time being 
that in Kent's “ Classified List of Queensland Food Fishes,”-^ a prodnetion of 
which the less said the belter. Nevertheless Kent, though nnhnowingdy. must 
have obtained specimens somewluu'e on the coast, since In* publishes an unmis- 
takabh* photograph of it on i>late xlvii of the work referred to under the name of 
(^aranx nohifi.<i .Machniy. a species to which it has not th(‘ nmiotest resemblance. 
Luring the second cruise of the F.T.S. 'M^hideavour in Queensland waters this 
species was met with thrice, namely, at Pine Peak-- 21 examples, off Cape 
Gloucester (i, and in Edgecnimbe Ray 204 on a fine sand and nnid bottom at a 
depth of from 25 to 14 fathoms.
