A fine specimen, 297 mm. long, from Port Hedland, is in the 
Western Australian Museum collection.

Port Hedland. One specimen, 230 mm. long.

A small specimen, 210 mm. long, from Geraldton, differs from 
larger ones in the Australian Museum from Torres Strait in having 
the snout more pointed, and its upper profile more concave. 
Family PSEUDOCHROMIDIDAE. 
GNATHYPOPS INORNATUS, Ramsay & Ogilby. 
Plate XXX. 
Opisthogtuithus inornatus, Ramsay and Ogilby, Proc. Linn. Soc. N.S. Wales, (2), 
II., 1887, p, 561. 
A very large specimen, 485 mm. long, from Port Hedland, 
differs from the type in having a much smaller eye, the head very 
much more tumid, and the pectorals more rounded. 1 he scales are 
obsolete anteriorily and the whole head, body and fins are covered 
with soft, plicated skin ; on the anterior portion of the ventrals and 
the margin of the spinous dorsal the skin is particularly thick and 
convoluted. All these differences are doubtless due to the age of 
the specimen. 
I have figured one of the two type specimens, which are in 
bad condition ; only the spots on the body are copied from the 
larger example. 
The following is a key to the Australian species of Gnathypops, 
Gill, and Merogymnus, Ogilby, all of which are represented in the 
Australian Museum.
