<i>Teraglin</i> (q.v.), <i>Otolithus atelodus</i>, Guenth.,
also of the family <i>Sciaeidae</i>. Tenison Woods (in `Fish
and Fisheries of New South Wales,' 1882, p. 34) says the
Jew-fish of New South Wales is sometimes <i>Glaucosoma
scapulare</i>, Ramsay; and <i>Glaucosoma hebraicum</i>,
Richards., is the Jew-fish of Western Australia (a marine
fish). Fishes on the American coasts, different from these,
are there called <i>Jew-fishes</i>.

1847. L. Leichhardt, `Overland Expedition,' p. 40:

"The water-holes abounded with jew-fish and eels."

<hw>Jew-Lizard</hw>, <i>n</i>. a large Australian lizard,
<i>Amiphibolurus barbatus</i>, Cuv.; called also <i>Bearded
Lizard</i>.

1847. L. Leichhardt, `Overland Expedition,' p. 89:

"A small <i>Chlamydophorus</i> (Jew-lizard of the Hunter) was
also seen." [The Hunter is a river of New South Wales.]

1890. F. McCoy, `Prodromus of the Natural History of
Victoria,' Decade xiii. pl. 121:

"This is commonly called the Jew Lizard by colonists, and is
easily distinguished by the beard-like growth of long slender
spires round the throat . . . when irritated, it inflates the
body to a considerably increased size, and hisses like a snake
exciting alarm; but rarely biting."

1893. `The Argus,' July 22, p. 4, col. 5:

"The great Jew-lizards that lay and laughed horribly to

pronunciation and spelling of the aboriginal name for the
indigenous <i>Rat-tail Grass</i>, <i>Sporobolus indicus</i>,
R. Br.

<hw>Jimmy</hw>, <i>n</i>. obsolete name for an immigrant, a
word which was jocularly changed into Jimmy Grant. The word
`immigrant' is as familiar in Australia as `emigrant' in
England.

1859. H. Kingsley, `Geoffrey Hamlyn,' p. 211:

"`What are these men that we are going to see?' `Why one,'
said Lee, is a young Jimmy--I beg your pardon, sir, an
emigrant, the other two are old prisoners.'"

1867. `Cassell's Magazine,' p. 440:

"`I never wanted to leave England,' I have heard an old
Vandemonian observe boastfully. `I wasn't like one of these
`Jemmy Grants' (cant term for `emigrants'); I could always earn
