heiglit. Greenish-yellow, more or less spotted with 

 brown, each spot being composed of minute dots. 

 Both Islands of New Zealand, and Chatham 

 Islands. 



Retropinna richardsoni, Gill. 



Specimens are in the Museum, from the Chatham Islands. 



Photichthys argenteus^ Hutton. 



This species has been figured by Dr. Giinther in the Eeport 

 on the Deep-sea Fishes of the "Challenger," pi. xlv., fig. A. 



Argentina elongata, Hutton. 



This species is considered distinct by Dr. Giinther, and is 

 figured by him in the Report on the Deep-sea Fishes of the 

 " Challenger," pi. Iv., fig. b. 



Clupea sagax, Jenyns. 



A specimen of this fish was procured in the Christchurch 

 market on the 22nd May, 1895. The fishmonger said he had 

 never seen one before. 



Anguilla aucklandii, Richardson. 



Specimens have been sent me from the Chatham Islands. 

 I now think that what I called^, latirostris is only the young 

 of A. aucklandii. 



Anguilla australis, Richardson. 



Specimens have been sent me by Major Gascoyne from 

 the Chatham Islands. 



Ophichthys novse-zealandise, Hector. 



This species differs from 0. serpens in having only one row 

 of teeth on the maxillary and intermaxillary bones. 



Centrina bruniensis, Ogilby. 



This is not C. salviana, as I supposed. The differences 

 have been pointed out by Mr. Ogilby in the " Records of the 

 Austrahan Museum," No. 11, p. 62 (1893). 



Trygon brevicaudatus, Hutton. 



This may be the same as T. margarita, Giinther ; but that 

 species comes from West Africa, and in the description no 

 mention is made of any ossification on the tail.
