Colour. — Greenish, spotted with brown, the spots tending to 
form indistinct bands in one specimen but not in the other. Brown 
lines radiate from the eye and on to the operciilum. Broad darker 
markings enclosing light interspaces are distinct in one specimen on 
the lower parts of the head. Dorsal and anal with darker and 
lighter spots on the rays, and there is a larger spot between the 
first and second spines of the former. 
Described from two specimens, 200 and 225mm. long, in the 
Australian Museum (I. 11459 and 11461), received from Mr. 
A. Abjornssen who collected them at Fremantle. 
Castelnaii recorded this species from Port Jackson,* but it has 
not been again recognised from eastern Australia by any other 
author. I suggest that his specimen was merely one of the varia- 
tions of P. gymnogenys, Gunther, as I have a local example of that 
species with which his colour-notes agree very well. 
Having compared the specimens identified by Waite'* as 
P. ruber, Castelnau, with the two described above, 1 tliiuk it pos- 
sible that the former will prove to be either an older or sexual form 
ol P. piirilus. Though the differences between Waite’s figure and 
my own appear very great, some of the specimens nevertheless 
exhibit certain characters which are intemediate between the two 
extremes, while Castelnau’s notes on the colour of Western Aus- 
tralian examples of P. parilus agree as well with his own as with 
Richardson’s species.
