with the upj^er x^rofile linear and slightly acclivous, its Avidth 1-8, its depth 1-31 
in its length, which is 3-65 in that of the body. Snout depressed and obtusely 
rounded anteriorly, its length 1-17 in the eye-diameter, which is 2-85 in the length 
of the head and 1*07 in the gently rounded interorbital Avidth. Cleft of mouth 
oblique, the lower jaw prominent; maxillary someAvhat dilated distally, not 
extending to beloAV the eye, entirely concealed when the mouth is closed. 
Scales in 32 series between the opercle and the root of the caudal, in 
9 between the origin of the first dorsal and the vent. Cheeks, opercles, and 
occiput scaly, the rest of the head naked. 
Dorsal fins with i 5, i 9 rays, the first originating a])ove the 8th, the second 
above the Ibtli body-scale ; sx>ine of first dorsal 1-27 in the middle ray, Avhich is 
1-5 in the length of the head, and extends, when depressed, ])eyond the origin of 
the second dorsal: spine of se('ond dorsal as long as that of the first, the rays 
increasing to the 3rd, Avhich is a little loAver than the first dorsal. Caudal 
forked, its length one fourth of that {)f the l)ody. Anal Avith i 15 rays, originating

Ventral inserted below the auiddle of the a])pressed x>cctoral, its length 1*57 in 
that of the head, the outer ray longest, reaching to beyond the vent. 
Light broAvn, all the upper trunk-scales with darker borders; sides AA'ith 
six series of small dark spots, forming chcA^ron bands. Ox:)ercAilar region Avith tAVO 
dusky blotches. Fins colorless. 
Etymology : — I have much pleasure in naming this pretty little species 
after ray friend and fellow-AVorker l\Ir. Allan Riverston McCulloch, Avhose 
excellent papers on our southern and deep-Avater fishes have become the leading 
feature in Australian ichthyology. 
Reg. No. in the Queensland Museum — I. 12/731; its length 52 millim. 
Range: — Streams of North Queensland. Tavo specimens from the Barron 
River, near Cairns, N.Q. 
How acquired : — Collected and donated by Mr. A. Anderson. 
Family STROMATEID^. 
FSENES HILLII sp, nov. 
Type locality : — Cowan Cowan, Moreton Bay. 
Body elliptical, the dorsal and ventral contours rounded and symmetrical, 
its Avidth 2*5 in its depth, Avhich is 2*85 to 3*05 in its length and a little more than 
the length of the head; caudal peduncle about one fourth longer than deep, its 
least depth 9*8 in the body-length. Head rather large, the upper profile feebly
