Some specimens weigh upwards of sixteen pounds. Caught by hook, 17th May, 1841. No. 42.--CHEILODACTYLUS. Native name TOORJENONG. "Black Jew-fish" of the sealers. "Rays, D. 16-26; A. 2-10; P. 13; V. 5." Inhabits rocky points of sandy bays, where they love to run in and root up the sand with their fleshy mouths.

The TOORJENONG grows to a large size, exceeding twenty pounds in weight. It is a gross feeder, and its flesh is hard and dry, but the head and sides are much prized by the natives, and the head of a large one makes tolerable soup. No. 45.--LATRIS? (vix.
