Guntlier* added, other genera and species {Trachypoma macr acanthus, 

 Scorpcena cooki, Peltorhamphus novcB-zealandice) ; and in 1887 Ogiibyt 

 examined a small collection of eight species, and described two as new 

 {Apogon norfolcensis and Coris trimaculatus). HeJ later described a new 

 mullet under the name Cestrceus norfolcensis. I§ have previously lef erred 

 to Richardson's record of a spotted Oplegnathus from Norfolk Island, which 

 he had seen at the Museum at Fort Pitt, and which he mentions in writing 

 of Oplegnathus punctatus.[\ The fish referred to has not since been noted 

 at Norfolk Island. Joidon and Fowler^ supply the data respecting Castel- 

 nau's genus and species, which at the time I wrote were unknown to me. 

 The reference is as follows : Ichthyorhamphos, Castelnau, Poiss. Afrique 

 Austr. (date 1855), p. 35 (pappei). 



Some years ago, when in Sydney, I made a rough list of the fishes of 

 Norfolk Island, based on collections made for or by Dr. Metcalfe, Messrs. 

 Wetherall, Nobbs, and Quintal. This hst is a quite unsatisfactory one, 

 but, as I cannot now refer to the specimens, I simply print it as it stands ; 

 it will serve as a basis for future work, when the specific gaps can be filled 

 in and new records added. Mr. McCulloch tells me that he has received 

 Mugil dohula (? M. cephalus) from an inland stream which has been cut of? 

 from the sea for six years. This is the only species added to my original list.
