No. 39. Cheilodactylus carponemus . — C. et V. 5. p. 362. 
• — Native name Chettang. “ Jew-fish’’ of the sealers (the 
name “ Jew-fish’’ is applied otherwise by the colonists). 
Inhabits rocky shores. Some specimens weigh upwards 
of sixteen pounds. Caught by hook, 17th May, 1841. 
No. 42. — Cheilodactylus . Native name Toorjenong . 
“ Black Jew-fish” of the sealers. “ Rays, D. 16-26; 
A. 2-10; P. 13; V. 5.” 
Inhabits rocky points of sandy bays, where they love to 
run in and root up the sand with their fleshy mouths. They 
are sluggish, and easily speared by the Aborigines, whose 
chief food it constitutes at certain seasons. The specimen was 
speared in my presence by Wallup, on the 8th of June, 1841. 
The Toorjenong grows to a large size, exceeding twenty 
pounds in weight. It is a gross feeder, and its flesh is hard 
and dry, but the head and sides are much prized by the 
natives, and the head of a large one makes tolerable soup. 
No. 45. — Latris ? (vix. Gerres?) — Native name Quike or 
Quik, (horned). “Rays, 9-16; A. 3-16: P.14; V. 1-5.” 
Caught by the hook, off Rocky Point, on the 1 7th of 
August, 1844. Good to eat. (A spine before each nostril, 
probably springing from the heads of the maxillaries).
