Page 1, 20 lines from top, /or "and thoracic" read "or thoracic." 



Page 1, last line,/of "Trachiiiidw" read " OphiocephaUdce." 



Page 2, Serrands Waandersi is not identical with Bleeker's species, which I have had the opportunity of 

 examining. Bleeker has renamed it Epinephelus Daiji, Atl. Ich. viii, p. 47, but that name having been previously 

 given to another species by the same author, I propose the term Serranhs Coroma.ndelicus. 



Page 13, Serranus merea. Bleeker considered some confusion must have occured in Bloch's collection, 

 and that he mixed up two species, and therefore this form had better still be termed S. Gilberii. 



Page 14, Serranus hexagonatus, add to synonyms ^'Serranus steUans, Richardson, An. Nat. Hist. 1842, 

 ix, p. 23." 



Page 17, Serranus diacanthus, add to Sjraonyms "Epinephelus Bayi, Bleeker, Rev. Ep. p. 105." 



Page 27, line I, for " Lahrus punctatus" read " Lahrus punctidaius.^' 



Page 27, line 25, /or " Genus, 5 — Anthias' read "Aprion," omit synonyms, while it should be placed at 

 p. 93. 



Page 27, line 29, after " Preopercle" insert "entire with a single ridge or finely." 



Page 27, line 31, /or "from nine to eleven" read "ten to eleven." 



Page 27, line 38, /or "Anthias multidens " read "Aprion multidens." The species closely resembles 

 A. pristipoma, Bleeker. 



Page 32, line 1, Lutianus eetthropteeus. I think the late Dr. Bleeker may be right when suggesting 

 that some error may have occurred amongst Bloch's type specimens, and this fish should be Lutianus annularis. 



Page 48, add Peiaoanthus holocentrum.

Length of head 3^, of caudal fin 6f , height of body 3^ in the total length. Eyes — diameter 2| in the 

 length of the head, 1/2 a diameter from the end of snout, and about 2/3 of a diameter apart. The maxilla 

 reaches posteriorly to beneath the first third of the orbit. Preorbital and first suborbital bones serrated 

 interiorly : both limbs of the preopercle serrated, and also jwssessing a long, flat spine at its angle equal in 

 length to more than 1/2 a diameter of the orbit. Two opercular spines. Subopercle serrated. A shoulder 

 spine. Fins — dorsal spines of moderate strength, roughened on one side, the second 2/3 the height of the last, 

 which is the longest, and equal to 1^ diameters of the orbit : rayed portion of the fin rather higher and angular. 

 Pectoral nearly 1/2 as long as the head. Ventral just reaches the commencement of the anal. Third anal 

 spine the longest, the two first being serrated anteriorly, while the rays are also rugose. Caudal trancated. 

 Free portion of the tail as high at its base as it is long. Scales — smallest on the head and above the lateral- 

 line, they extend superiorly as far as the snout. Colours — rose-coloured superiorly, becoming nearly white on 

 the sides and beneath : ventral fins spotted with brown : a dark edge to dorsal and anal fins. 



Habitat. — Madras to the Malay Archipelago. Amongst Sir W. Elliot's illustrations of Coromandel fish 

 exists this species ; but I did not obtain examples until lately, when Dr. Keess, of Madras, sent me several.

Height of body not quite 1/3 of the total length excluding the caudal fin. jScaZes^large. Colours — 

 greenish, with a silvery lateral band. A blackish longitudinal streak along each caudal lobe. 

 Habitat. — Warm springs of Cannia, in Ceylon.

* When I commenced this work it was not my intention to liave given references to wherever each species was adverted to by 

 different naturalists, l)ut to restrict such to those who have published well-known treatises on ichthycloey, or might more strictly be 

 termed Indian authors. After the Serrani had been printed, the late Ur. Bleeker persuaded me to give a fuller list of references, 

 pointing out for one reason as that I had omitted S. steUans from ray list of synonyms of S. hexagonatus. it had appeared to him that 1 

 believed such to be different species. Acting on his advice, I propose here adding the more important synouyms which are not recorded 

 in the text.
