The crocodile is larger, and has a more elon¬ 
gated head than its compatriot. Experienced 
sportsmen are able to tell which is which, but 
the novice is advised to give both a wide 
berth until he has had an opportunity of per¬ 
forming a dental operation on them. 
Ever and anon, the mythical “bunyip” is re¬ 
ported to make its reappearance in the streams 
on the Darling Downs, but, although many 
are said to have gazed upon the monstrosity, 
none of the descriptions given thereof agree 
to any marked extent. Sceptics discredit its 
existence, and assert that it is the creation of 
a fertile brain. 
In several of the rivers about Brisbane, 
Gympie, Maryborough and Bundaberg the 
ceratodus—a fish which nature has endowed 
with lungs—glides about in good numbers. It 
is of a respectable size, and the hesh is calcu¬ 
lated to please the taste of even the epicure. 
Among the fishes which abound in the tidal 
rivers and on the seaboard in North Queens¬ 
land are the trevally, trumpeter, fiathead, 
bream, mullet, turtle, crabs, etc. The Great 
Barrier Reef is claimed to be the best fishing 
ground in the Commonwealth. The fishes 
angled for here include beche-de-mer, sea 
perch, hussar, emperor, king, dew, epaulette, 
sweet-lips, parrot, leopard cod, groper, pike. 
For exciting sport, the trevally is claimed to 
provide the very maximum. As soon as it 
takes the bait, the angler is given no end of 
work to land the fish, as for fully ten minutes 
it makes herculean efforts to disengage itself 
from the barbs of the hook. During pctober 
last, full” lOO barramundi, ranging in size from 
seven pounds downward, were caught in a net 
in the Herbert River district. North Queens¬ 
land Quite recently, a sting ray, weighing 
four and one-half cwt., was hauled out of the 
briny at Noosa Heads, a watering place on the 
North Coast railway line. 
The streams in the Cairns hinterland (North 
Queensland) have been stocked with hundreds 
of thousands of rainbow trout, and it is only 
a matter of a short time when followers of 
the art piscatorial will be afforded plenty of 
pastime. 
The reprehensible practice of “fishing” by 
means of dynamite, indulged in in certain 
parts of the State, is to be put down with a 
firm hand. Many of the fishing associations 
have taken the matter up, and culprits caught 
red-handed are threatened with severe punish¬ 
ment. 
At the rear of one of the hotels in the Her¬ 
bert River district (North Queensland) there 
lives, in captivity, in a large underground tank 
a i2-foot crocodile. It is twelve months since 
the saurian was snared. The “aquarium” is 
one of the interesting sights in Halifax. 
J. Douglass Ogilby (honorable curator of 
the Queensland Amateur Fishermen’s Asso¬ 
ciation) has received several well-preserved 
specimens of new fishes from J. Palmer Bul- 
wer, Moreton Island. These include species 
new to Moreton Bay—a hardihead, materially 
differing from the common species; a pipe fish, 
common enough in Port Jackson, but of a 
genus iStigmatophora) not hitherto found in 
Queensland; and a new genus and species 
(Liocranium prceposiium) described by Mr. 
Ogilby some years ago from the mid-Queens¬ 
land coast, and now for the first time obtained 
in Moreton Bay. In addition, Mr. Ogilby 
states that the A. F. A. museum possesses a 
specimen of Mr. Waite’s rare sucker {Lepa- 
dichthys frenatus), which has the duplicate 
sucking arrangement on the under portion of 
the body instead of on the back of the head. 
This fish is of a pink color, with a crimson 
streak from the corners of the mouth through 
the eyes to the end of the head, when freshly 
caught, but, as is usual with most fishes, the 
colors fade, and the specimen mentioned is 
now a dull sandy yellow. This is the only 
specimen of the true sucker fishes ever re¬ 
corded from the Queensland coast, but Mr. 
Ogilby is of opinion that others may be found, 
the localities most favorable for obtaining 
them being those where loose boulders or over¬ 
hanging coral are found.—Angler’s News.
