FISHES. MCCULLOCH. 207 



Moreton Bay, donated J. D. Ogilby," and the entry is in 

 Ogilby's handwriting. The type of C. macdonaldi was 

 said to have been preserved in the collection of the 

 Amateur Fishermen's Association of Queensland, but no 

 specimen can be found therein which corresponds to the 

 description of that species. The specimen here described 

 tallies with Ogilby's description and measurements, and 

 there is every reason to believe it is his holotype. 



Affinities. C. macdonaldi is closely related to C. 

 calcaratus, from which it differs principally in having 

 the occiput rugose, and in its colouration. 



CALLIONYMUS OCELLIGEXA *p. nor. 

 (Plate Iv, fig. 1.) 



D.iv/9; A.9; P.20; V.i/5; C.10. 



Depth at origin of anal fin (15 mm.) 1-03, breadth 

 before the pectorals (30) 5-1, and length of head (46) 

 3-3 in the length to the hypural joint (155). Eye (10) 

 shorter than the snout (14-5), and 4-6 in the head. Inter- 

 orbital space (2) 5-0 in the eye. First dorsal spine (21) 

 2-1, last dorsal ray (36) 1-2, and last anal ray (23) 2-0 

 in the head. Caudal fin (65) 0-4 longer than the head. 



Head smooth above, without rugose bones. Snout 

 broadly rounded when viewed from above; the width of 

 the head at the bases of the preopercular spines is less 

 than the distance between the gill-openings and the tip of 

 the snout. Upper lip projecting beyond the preorbital 

 bones Avhen the mouth is closed, and Avell beyond the 

 lower jaw. Maxillary scarcely reaching the vertical of 

 the nostril. Interorbital space narrow, deeply grooved. 

 Preopercular spine curved upwards at the distal ex- 

 tremity, with three large hooks above, and an antrorse 

 spine on its outer base. Gill-openings exposed, on the 

 upper surface, and separated by a space which is less 

 than that between the outer margins of the orbits; they 

 are a little nearer the eyes than the bases of the pectorals, 

 and well above the level of the latter. A broad band of 

 villiform teeth in each jaw ; palate toothless. 



Body greatly depressed, the caudal peduncle broader 

 than deep at the middle of its length. Lateral line curv- 

 ing downward beneath the pectoral fin and extending 

 backward a little above the middle of the side. Anal 

 papilla well developed.
