Family CARANGIDAE. 



48. — Caranx hippos, L. 

 Gunth. Cat,. Fish., Vol. II, p. 449, and Gunth. Fisch. des Sudsee, 

 Journ. Mus. Godef, Heft, V, p. 131, Taf. LXXXIV. 



Caranx paraspistes; Richards. Ichth. Voy. Ereb. and Terr., p. 

 136, pi. 58, fig. 5-7, and synonymous according to Dr. Gunther 

 with C. fallax, sem, Fosteri, sexfasciatus, Peronii, Lessonii, and 

 Belenqerii of Cuv. and Val. Hist. Nat. des Poiss., Vol. IX. 



This species seems to be abundant. I have them of all sizes. 

 49. — Chorinemus lysan, Forslc. 



Gunth. Cat. Fish., Vol. II, p. 471. 



Chorinemus Fosteri, Richards. Ann. and Mag. Nat. Hist., 1843, 

 Vol. XI, p. 24, and said to be identical with C. commersonianus, 

 lyzan, Farkharii, and aculeatus of Cuv. and Val. Hist. Nat. des 

 Poissons, Vol. VIII. 



Family TRACHINHLE. 

 50. — Opisthognathus darwiniensis, n. sp. PI. IX, fig. 3. 



D. 28, A. 15. 



Height one-fourth of total length ; maxillary reaching nearly 

 to the preeopercular angle ; space between the eyes not more 

 than one-third of the diameter of the orbit ; colour yellowish, 

 closely spotted with brown ; a large oval black spot between 

 the 3rd and 7th spines of the dorsal fin ; the rest of the fin, as 

 also the anals, ventrals and caudal, yellow with black bars ; 

 pectorals finely spotted. 



This species is evidently very distinct from 0. nigromarginatus, 

 Rupp, the 0. Sonneratii of Cuv. and Val., described as being 

 in height only one-sixth of the length, in having only 24 

 rays or spines to the dorsal, and in having a remarkable black 

 band on the maxillaries, in all which it differs from the present 

 species.
