ZANE GREY SATISFIED.
Mr. Zane Grey, who is about to leave Bateman's Bay for Queens land waters, told Mr. Gilbert Whit-, ley,
ichthyologist at the Australian Museum, that he is very well , satisfled with his Australian visit so far. He has caught not only striped marlins, but several kinds of sharks,
including hammerheads, ranging up to 10 feet long. He has also caught the first yellow-finned tuna
recorded from Australian waters. The nearest record so far has been, from Vanikoro, near the New
Hebrides. This fish is the basis of an important industry in California. Surrounded as he was on all sides
by catches of sharks and swordfish during his visit to Bateman's Bay, Mr. Whitley brought back nothing
but some gobies, about an inch long. They are . of great scientific inter-est. '
