MEMOITiS OF THE QUEENSLAND MUSEUM. 
name, then for the first time published as a eorreetly presented specific namef 
T, therefore, restore it to its proper place. This species, known throughout 
Queensland and along the entire watershed of the Darling as the bony bream. 
appears to be generally distributed through the fresh waters of xVustralia,, with 
the exception of the IMiddle and Southern cismontane Districts of New South 
AVales and Victoria, even ranging as far north as the fresh waters of the 
Carpentaria hinterland, whence the Queensland ^Museum has lately received a 
specimen from the Norman River. Our marine species is, however, T). nasus 
( Bloch). I am unable to recognise Konosinis Jordan & Snyder^® as a genus 
distinct from Dorosoyna.^^ 
CLrPETD.E. 
DUSSUMIERIA HASSELTII Bleeker.^'* 
The Queensland iMuseum possesses two examples of this fish, collected many 
years ago at Cape York hy Vr. Kendal Eroadbent. This is the first Australian 
record of the species. 
PERCOIDEI. 
CIIEILODIPTERIDJE. 
GLOSSAMIA APRION (Richardson). 
Through the kindness of' Dr. Chas. J. Taylor of Normanton the Queens- 
land ^luseum has lately acquired a titie example of tliis fish from the fresh 
water of the Norman River. The specimen, a male of ITS millim., has the mouth 
crammed with ova in a very forward state, thus adding another to the long list 
of cheilodipterids, which employ this method of liatchijig out their young. The 
only previoiLs knowledge I have of this fish is Richardson’s description of the 
type from Port Essington, N.T. It is. therefore, an addition to the Queensland 
fauna. 
CARANGID.E. 
An examination of the type of Caranx aiiriga de Yis^- shows it to be a 
typical Ciiula oblonga.^^ Though the correction was never published this was, 
I imagine, recognized by ]\lr. de Vis, as tlie bottle which held the type also 
contained two examples of V. ohioiiga, correctly labeled in his own handwriting. 
Four years ago Seale described a Phili|>pine species as Carati.r OAfrigaf^^ and as 
that name can not of ('ourse stand, 1 proi>ose f-ifulo virgn as a substitute name 
for tliat species.
