OF NEW SOUTH WALES. 359 



a single fine tentacle over each eye ; dorsal fin quite continuous 

 and without any notch; the first few rays of the anal fin 

 prolonged into filaments ; colour greenish yellow, with more 

 or less distinct double vertical brown bands over the whole body 

 and with the dorsal fin spotted with brown. 



Many specimens averaging three inches in length. The 

 straight, unnotched dorsal fin will at once enable this fish to be 

 distinguished from S. biseriatus, Cuv. and Val., and S. geminatus, 

 All. and Macl., both of them species which in other respects 

 much resemble the present one.

 p. 64. 



I have two specimens of this curious fish, about four inches 

 long. I would add to Dr. Gunther's description, that there is a 

 small skinny flap at the extremity of the upper lip, and that the 

 spots on the head have a narrow white ring round them.

I have several specimens of this fish 7 inches in length. It 

 differs somewhat from the descriptions of the species inasmuch 

 as there are no brown blotches on the back.
