(4) Nematoceniris winneckei^ sp.n. (Fig. 3.) 
D. 1/4-1/12. A. 1/21. L. bit. 31. L. tniiisv, 11-12. 
The height of the body is contained three times in its length without the 
caudal, the length of the head nearly four times. Snout attenuated, but not 
pointed ; lower jaw projecting and thicker than the upper ; mouth oblique. Teeth 
in upper jaw in a single row, unequal in size, pointed and curved ; teeth in lower 
jaw villiform, outer series the largest. Interorbital space flat and cavernous, the 
whole surface scattered with numerous minute tubercles. The lirst dorsal spine 
pungent, the others flliform; the last dorsal nearly reaches the root of the caudal. 
The colour is of a dirty yellow, with a bluish silvery tinge. A silvery lateral 
band instead of a lateral line. 
I examined several specimens of this flsh, which were caught in the Finke 
River at Idracowra, but owing to the peculiar difliculty of preserving such tender 
objects on such a rough and long journey the specimens in question had the flns 
injured, and on this account I am not certain whether their outlines are correct in 
the drawing. 
Locality. —Near llorse-shoe Rend, Finke River. 
(5) Eleotrii larapintce.^ sp.n. (Fig. 4.) 
D. 8/13. A. 11. L. lat. 42. L. transv. 18-19. 
Sixteen series of scales between the origin of the second dorsal flu and the 
anal. Scales of head and body equal, minutely ciliated. Height of body a little 
more than one-fourth of the total length, the length of the head about the same. 
The diameter of the eye is one-lifth of the length of the head, but less than half 
the width of the interorbital space. Mouth oblique, the maxillary nearly reaches 
the anterior margin of the eye. 
Colouration. —A brownish-yellow with a series of dark brown spots along the 
middle of the side of the body, commencing between the second dorsal and anal fin 
and terminating at the root of the tail; three oblique, narrow, brownisli stripes 
from the eye to the gill-opening. The flns are shaded with black. This species 
seems to approach nearest E. niogurnda, but it difl’ers in the dimensions and 
number of lin-rays. 
Localities. —Palm Creek, Red Bank Creek, McDonnell Ranges.
