Abstract

Three species, Raja dentata Klunzinger, 1872 (Rajidae), Alabes pay'))ulus McCulloch, 1909 (Alabetidae), Acanthistius serratus (Cuvier, 1828) (Epincphelidae) are added to the local list; some observations are made on the material on which the two latter records are based. It is pointed out that while Somniosus antarcticus Whitley, 1939 (Somniosidae) does not appear in Australian, but is sometimes included in New Zealand,
catalogues, the type locality, Macquarie Island, is formally part of a Tasmanian municipality. A first record in Tasmanian waters of Halsydrus maximus (Gunner, 1765) (Halsydridae) in 1936 is supplemented by two records in January and March 1974; one specimen is figured. General observations are made as follows. Echelidae, morphometric data, coloration in 20 specimens of Muraenichthys ogilbyi Fowler, 1908: Scorpidae, relative growth, development of color pattern in Atypichthys strigatus (Gunther, 1860): Trichiuridae,
