Fowler has noted australian examples of Hemiramphus 
intermedius Cantor with scaly dorsal and anal fing” Mise. 
though Gunther has described Hyporhamphus regularis with the 
same fins cegieidas’.. our specimen, on the contrary, shows 
them with fine scales. The greater portion of the caudal is 
also more or less covered with small scales. Hemiramphus 
intermedius further differs in its preorbital only long as 
deep and ventral inserted little nearer caudal base than 
pectoral origin. Also the movable portion of the upper jaw 
is longer than broad.
