Abstract
THE appellation “Port Jackson Shark” is customarily applied to Cestracion Philippi. Macleay, as is well known, doubted the justice of including in this species the Japanese Heterodontus zebra (Gray); and as Mr. Waite, admitting the independence of the latter species, extends the vernacular name to C. galeatus, the alteration in the title of his paper is regretable, though not serious. It was made without my sanction, and I am sorry to say that it escaped my notice in the performance of my editorial duties. Had I detected it, I should not have allowed it to pass.
