There are twenty specimens in the Australian Museum, of 
which two from the Leschenault Inlet were received from Mr. A. 
Abjornssen. Two more from Donnybrook, in the County of 
Wellington, were some of those used by Ogilby in drawing up his 
description, while sixteen others without a definite locality were 
received from Mr. Albert Gale.

Fresh specimens of this species show striking dark longitudinal 
bands, the most prominent of which follows the lateral line, and is 
rather wider than the scales it covers. There are two broader ones 
between it and the back, each covering two rows of scales, while 
below it are three others which are still broader. A dark bar passes 
obliquely from the eye to the interopercle. The fins are dusky, but 
the tips of the anal and dorsal spines and the anterior margins of 
the fins are whitish, and there are oblique whitish bars on the ends 
of the caudal lobes. 
Although 1 have carefully compared my two specimens with 
Jordan and Thompson’s 1 excellent description and figure of G. 
burgeri, Richardson, I am unable to find any satisfactory differences
