There is a specimen in the Museum, from Sumner. 



Tripterygium robustum, Clarke. 



There is a specimen in the Museum, locality unknown. 



Acanthoclinus taumaka, Clarke. 



There is a specimen in the Museum, from Banks Penin- 

 sula. 



Crepidogaster simus, sp. nov. 



D. 7 ; A. 7. Snout depressed, rounded, not produced, its 

 length not quite twice the diameter of the eye, or about equal 

 to the width of the interorbital space. Distance from the end 

 of the dorsal, or anal, to the caudal very short, about one- 

 fifth of the length of the caudal, or one-third of the least 

 depth of the tail. Ventrals united to the pectorals by a 

 membrane. Ventral sucker broader than long. Colouration 

 uniform. Lyttelton Harbour and Chatham Islands. 



Differs from C. hectoris in having the dorsal and anal fins 

 close to the caudal. The type -specimen was presented by 

 Mr. F. W. Tregear, on the 27th December, 1892. 



Labrichthys roseipunctata, Hutton ; Trans. N.Z. Inst., 

 vol. xii., p. 455. 



I omitted this species from my list of New Zealand fishes, 

 1889. 



Labrichthys cincta, Hutton. 



There is a specimen in the Museum collection, obtained in 

 the Christchurch market. 



Physiculus bacchus, Foster. 



Lotella bacchus and L. rhaciuus both belong to Physiculus, 

 distinguished by the flat ventral fins. 



Motella novae-zealandiae, Hector. 



Specimens are in the Museum, from Sumner. 



Anchenoceros punctatus, Hutton. 



A specimen obtained in the Christchurch market, 22nd 

 May, 1895, is in the collection. 



Hyplolycodes haastii, Hector. 



I think that this genus should be placed in the OphidiidcB, 

 on account of its wide gill -openings. The ventrals are 

 jugular, consist of six rays, and reach to the vent when laid 

 back.
