250 "ENDEAVOUR" SCIENTIFIC RESULTS. 



LcEOps parviceps (part), Giinther, Shore Fishes 

 "Challenger," p. 29 (1880). 



Lophorhombus cristatus, Macleay, Proc. Linn. Soc. X. 8. 

 Wales, VII, 1883, p. 14 ; iUd, IX, 1884, p. 52. 



Hab. South-eastern Australia, from off the mouth 

 of the Murray River, S. Australia, to southern Queens- 

 land ; Flinders Island ; Tasmania. 



E.1787. (3) 8 miles E. of Sandon Bluffs, X. S. 

 Wales; 35-40 fathoms. 



1.11086. (2) 8 miles E. of Sandon Bluffs, X. S. 

 Wales ; 35-40 fathoms. 



E.3056-7. (4) East from Kent group, Bass Strait; 

 60-80 fathoms. 



The bony tubercles on the snout, and that at the 

 symphysis of the lower jaw are developed in both sexes, 

 but are smaller and blunter in the females. In the males 

 the second to fifth or eighth rays of dorsal fin are greatly 

 produced ; in the females only the third to fourth or fifth 

 are moderately prolonged. Arnoglossus mongonuiensis, 

 Regan, from Xew Zealand, belongs to this genus. It is 

 very close to the above, but the anterior dorsal rays 

 appear to be longer. 



Two specimens taken by the "Challenger" off Two- 

 fold Bay, Xew South Wales, 120 fathoms, and identified 

 by Giinther as L&ops parviceps., prove to be young 

 examples of this species.
