The investigation has revealed no Tasmanian galaxiid identical with any New Zealand form.
The fish known hitherto as Galaxias attenuatus in Tasmania is shown to be at least subspecifically different from the form bearing this name in New Zealand. The two forms are referred to the species maculatus Jenyns on the grounds of page precedence, and are regarded as different subspecies.
No fish agreeing with G. auratus,Johnson and G. weedoni Johnston have been found but G. affinis Regan appears to be a valid species represented by variants in different waters.
