178 LIST OF THE AUSTRALIAN PAL^ICHTHYESy LIST OF THE AUSTRALIAN PAL^IC HTHYES, WITH NOTES ON THEIR SZNONYMY AND DISTRIBUTION. By J. Douglas Ogilby, F.L.S., Assistant Zoologist, Australian Museum. Part ii. In this part are contained the remaining families of the Selachoidean Palceichthyes, namely, the Notidanidce^ ScylliidcBy Eeterodontidce, Spinacidce, SquatinidcE, and PristiojyJioridcE : of these twenty-five species are enumerated, seven of which, ^.e., Scylliorhinus analis, Ginglymostoma concolor, Stegostoma tigrinum, Farascyllium collare, Ghiloscyllium inmctatum, Crossorhinus dasy-pogon, and Echinorhinus spinosus, have been added to the Aus-tralian fauna since 1884. Two of these (S. analis and P. collare) have been described since that date in the Proceedings of this Society, the former in Vol. x. p. 445, the latter in Vol. iii. (2) p. 1310; for the record of E. sjoinosus we are indebted to Prof. McCoy, who has done so much to elucidate the zoology of Victoria both fossil and recent ; while that of 0. pimctatinn is due to Dr. Klunzinger ; the remaining three, being well-known species from the tropical waters of the Indian and Pacific Oceans, were certain to have been recorded sooner or later from our northern shores, as without doubt will many other species when our long and varied sea-board has been systematically examined. In the present part the only points on which I feel any doubt concern (1) the correctness of the identification of Mr. Zietz's South Australian Crossorhinus with the C. tentaculatus of Dr. Peters, but in the present state of our knowledge of both forms it is perhaps better to follow Mr. Zietz, who, in a letter received
