latitude which correspond very equally with that of the Fitzroy and Bundaberg, 
in the southern hemisphere. It would be interesting, and it should not be 
difficult to obtain reliable information as to which is the first place north of 
Rockhampton where the fish is found to carry a roe, or ifit has so far never yet 
been found in spawn on any part of the coast. 
To add to the confusion of names, there is a third fish, besides ZLates and 
Osteoglossum Leichhardtii, not mentioned by Mr. O’Connor—viz., Ceratodus 
Forsteri—to which, in his first description of it, Mr. Kreft, of the Sydney 
Museum, gave the name of “ Barramundi,” which name it bears in scientific 
works to this day. I have the “Text Book of Zoology, 1894,” beside me now, 
which, in noticing the two species of Ceratodi, says “ that the former and best 
known species is known to the natives as the ‘ Barramundi’ or ‘ Jeevine.’ ” The 
name “Gigantic Perch” of the Fitzroy, not “ Giant Perch,” was an accepted 
name for the fish long before Mr. De Vis’ time.
