obscurity. Finally it was surely injudicious for Smith to have given to his new 
genus Cii'rhoscylHum a name so closely resembling my Cirriscylliinn of sis 
years previously.® 
CHILOSCYLLIUM TRISPECULARE {Richardson). « 
In two of the three recent i)apers above mentioned, Avhich refer to this 
species, the locality is merely copied from Eichardson without comment; yet 
strangel}^ enough, prior to our Port Darwin, X.T., record, this shark had no 
claim whatever to a north-western habitat. Certainly Richardson gives the 
locality of his type as ^^Tui’tle Island, on the north-west coast of Australia. 
Taking, however, into consideration the ambiguity which was inseparable from 
all allusions to Australian geography in those days, and the fact that Lieut. 
Bynoe, who surveyed the Gulf of Carpentaria, obtained Richardson's second 
specimen on the same coast " (as the first came from), I think we may fairly 
conclude that the Turtle Island referred to is the small island of that name, 
which lies between ^Mornington Island and the mainland near B^uioe's Inlet. 
In any case this is not the only reference to the species on the Queensland Coast, 
since Gunther recorded it from Cape York as far back as 1867d- 
STEGOSTOMA TYGRINUM (Bomiatcrre). 
In describing the egg-case of this species in our review of the family 
above quoted, we remark that ‘Gt is without apparent means of attachment. 
Through the receipt of a fine example, collected by Dr. Hamlyn-TIarris at Cape 
Bowling-green, and containing a fully developed embryo, I am able to state that 
the method employed is similar to that of Cldloscylliuni punctafund^ ■, that is to 
say — the case is bag-shaped, and the handle, after its deposition, is woven to it 
and round some support.

HALiELURUS LABIOSUS (Waite). 
Bramble Cay, so often referred to in connection Avith this shark, is a small 
sandy islet 28 miles X. by E. from Dandey Island, and is under the jurisdiction 
of Queensland.
