Preliminary note on the supposed Aboriginal rock carvings at Mersey Bluff, Devonport

The supposed Tasmanian Aboriginal Rock-Carvings at Mersey Bluff, Devon port, were !brought under the notice of this Society by Mr. A. L. Meston, M.A., in a lecture delivered on 20th April, 1931. In conversation, Mr. H. Stuart Dove, F.Z.S., of Devonport, has informed me he has known of the existence of the markings for a number of years, his attention having first been called to them ·by Mr. Leek about 1914. Mr. Duve has also courteously supplied me with a copy of an article on the subject, illustrated by three figures, contributed by him to The Australasian of 15th September, 1923

Observations on some Tasmanian fishes: Part XX

Three species, Atypichthys strigatus (Gunther), Kathetostoma giganteum Haast, Navodon multiradiata (Gunther), are reported for the first time from Tasmania. The inclusion in the local list of Vincentia novaehollandiae (Valenciennes), on which doubt had been cast by recognition of the validity of V. lemprieri (Johnston), is confirmed~ General observations are made on the following species: Squatina australia Regan, Alahes dorsalis (Richardson), Alabes rufus (Macleay), Anguilla reinhapdtii Steindachner, Scorpis lineolatus Kner, Kathetostoma laeve (Bloch &Schneider), Gnathanacanthus goetzeii Bleeker.

Notes on the gobies recorded from Tasmania, with description of a new genus

Four species of Gobiidae have at various times been accredited to Tasmania. It cannot be said, however, that our knowledge of the members of the family occurring in our waters at present rests on a very satisfactory footing. In the present paper, the more precise scope and conclusions of which are summarized in the concluding paragraph, some notes on the recorded forms are given, and a new genus is described. Registration numbers are those of the Queen Victoria Museum, Launceston

Observations on some Tasmanian fishes: Part XXX

ANGUILLIDAE. Anguilla australis Richardson, 1841: a xanthic example is reported. TRACHIPTERIDAE. (a) Trachipterus arawatae Clarke, 1881: two large dealfish catalogued as T. jacksonensis (Ramsay, 1881) are described and figured and their taxonomic status is considered, with special reference to differential growth in T. arawatae and in the present material, it being concluded Ramsay's species is a senior synonym of Clarke's; (b) Zu cristatus (Bonelli, 1820): a Tasmanian specimen previously referred provisionally to this species is here definitively ascribed to it and is made the subject of some additional observations. BOVICHTHYIDAE. Bovichthus variegatus Richardson, 1846: several good series from Greens Beach, northern Tasmania, allow the study of growth and form in a geographically homogeneous population. ATTENNARIIDAE. Kuiterichthys furcipilis (Cuvier, 1817): observations are made on this species, recently added to the Tasmanian list
