HuTTON. — On some New Zealand Fishes. 315 



Cubiceps gracilis, Lowe ; Giintlier, " ' Challenger ' Pelagic 



Fishes," pi. ii., fig. a. 



A specimen in the Museum was obtained in the Christ - 

 church market in June, 1893. 



Cybium guttatum, Bloch (?) ; Day's "Fishes of India," 



pi. Ivi., fig. 4. 



A damaged specimen of a Cybium, probably C. guttatum, 

 was obtained at the Chatham Islands by Major Gascoyne, and 

 presented to the Museum in April, 1894. 



Echeneis remora, Linne. 



There is a specimen in the Museum collection labelled 

 " Wellington Harbour." 



Kathetostoma giganteum, Haast. 



In my list of New Zealand fishes (Trans. N.Z. Inst., 

 vol. xxii., p. 279) this is by accident given as a synonym of 

 Anema vionopterygium (Bloch), whereas it should have been 

 placed with the next species on the list — K. lave (Bloch). 

 Haast's type, however, has no humeral spines, and may pos- 

 sibly be distinct. 



Kathetostoma fluviatile, Hutton. 



There are specimens in the Museum from the Eangitata 

 Eiver, forty miles from its mouth, and also from Dunedin ; so 

 that it inhabits the sea as well as the rivers. It has the same 

 mesial occipital bony plate as K. mac2ilatus (Forster), to which 

 it is closely allied ; but it has no scales on the sides of the 

 tail ; the humeral spines are short and obtuse, and the granu- 

 lations on the opercular and cranial bones are not quite so 

 coarse. The colouration is also slightly different ; but the two 

 species are so much alike that they are always considered to 

 be the same by fishermen. 



Parapercis gilliesii, Hutton. 



A specimen which was obtained in the Chi'istchurch 

 market on the- 27th June, 1893, is in the collection. It agrees 

 closely with the description of the type. The name Parapercis 

 has been given by Dr. Theodore Gill, as Percis is preoccupied. 



Eleotris radiata, Quoy and Gaimard. 



I have received specimens from the Chatham Islands, 

 collected by Major Gascoyne. 



Eleotris gobioides, Cuvier and Val. 



I have received specimens from the Chatham Islands, 

 collected by Major Gascoyne.
