39. Goby. Favonigobius sp.[W&M]
111 x 184 mm
Bauer has drawn close-ups of parts of the fish’s anatomy but, despite this detail, it has not been
possible to identify it beyond the genus or to determine where it was collected, although this may
have been from Keppel Bay, Queensland on 15 August 1802.
W&M : 325
37. Mudskipper. Periophthalmus sp. [W&M]
111 x 183 mm
In this drawing Bauer has made several close-up studies of the mudskipper – pectoral fin, section
through the body, pelvic fins. The mudskipper was probably collected from Connor Creek, Keppel
Bay, Queensland on 15 August 1802.
W&M : 324-5
