Chrysophrys sarba, Stead — Ed. Fish, N S. Wales, 1908, p. 78, pi. XLVII. 
Eight specimens are in the collection, from the neighbourhood 
of Fremantle, which agree in every way with others from Port 
Jackson. This species does not appear to have been recognised from 
the western coast of Australia. 
SPARUS AUSTRALIS, Gunther. 
Chrysophrys australis, Gunther— Brit. Mus. Cat. Fish. I , 1859, p 494; Id., Stead, 
Ed Fish, N. S. Wales, 1908, p. 77, pi. XLVI. 
I am unable to separate four specimens, from Fremantle, from 
this species. It has been recorded from the Harvey River, Western 
Australia, by Gunther. 
PLATAX TEIRA, Forskal. 
Platax teria (Forskal), Jordan and Fowler— Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., XXV., 1902, 
p. 256. 
A very small specimen, one and a half inches long, from Fre- 
mantle, is of interest as being apparently the first of the species 
recognised from Western Australia.

The collection includes a specimen from Abrolhos Island, 
which agrees very well with Waite’s figure of Harpe vulpina. I 
have compared it with the types of Trochocopus rufus, Macleay, with 
which it is identical. According to Mcleay’s description there are 
45 scales on the lateral line, but in both his specimens there'are 
only 36. This detail is referred to by Klunzinger, and as Trocho- 
copus has 45 or more, he placed the species in Cossyphus. Further,.
