aa. Depth of body much greater than length of head, '2^^ to 3i 

 in total length; eye li to 1^ times length of snout, 2| to 

 3 J in the head; maxillary extending to below the middle 

 of the eye or not so far, its distal width |^ to f of 

 the eye; lateral line 38-40, ending close in front of the 

 caudal ... ... ... ... ... ... j)latei. 



I have mentioned above that I find it necessary to separate the 

 Tasmanian C. allporti from the true Gallanthias as hei'6 restricted, 

 placing it in a monotypic genus for which the name Anogramma 

 is proposed, and I further submit that these two genera along 

 with Gramma, Poe}'^, might conveniently be associated in a sub- 

 family CaUanthiince, of equal value to and intermediate between 

 the Anthiince on the one hand and the Plesiojnncc on the other. 

 The subfamily and the genera may be briefly tabulated thus : — ■ 



Callaxthiin.1: : — Lateral line single, incomplete or interrupted 

 high; a conspicuous scaly process between the ventral fins. 



a. Vomerine teeth weak or absent ; lateral line incomplete ; 

 maxillary scaly.

aa. Vomerine teeth strong. 



b. Lateral line incomplete; maxillary scaly.

Body oblong, compressed. Scales large, adherent, finely 

 ciliated, concentrically striated. Lateral line complete, the 

 tubes few, irregular, simple, extending along the entire exposed 

 surface of the scale. Head moderate, almost entirely seal}'.
