4 o DISCOVERY REPORTS 



GALAXIIDAE 



Galaxias attenatus (Jenyns). 



Regan, 1906, Proc. Zool. Soc, 1905 (2), p. 368, pi. xii, fig. 1, pi. xiii, fig. 2. 



Hab. South Australia, Victoria, New South Wales; Tasmania; New Zealand and 

 neighbouring islands; Patagonia; Falklands; Tierra del Fuego; Chile. 



No specimens were obtained by the expedition, but I have received one (75 mm.) 

 from Mr Bennett, taken by a seine net in Weir Creek, Stanley, Falkland Islands, in 

 November, 1933. This is one of the fishes known locally as " Smelt", and is said to be 

 excellent as food. The maximum size attained is about 6 in. 



Galaxias maculatus (Jenyns). 

 Regan, 1906, t.c., p. 370. 



Hab. Patagonia ; Falklands ; Tierra del Fuego ; southern Chile. 



No specimens were obtained by the expedition, but there are several in the British 

 Museum from the Falkland Islands, Alert Bay, Orange Bay, Estero de Penco, and 

 Nige Totten, Chile. In the Falklands, where it is abundant in certain small brooks and 

 streams, this fish is known as "Trout", but the same name appears to be used for 

 Aplochiton zebra. The occurrence of Galaxias maculatus in the sea has been recorded 

 by Valenciennes and by Philippi off the Falklands and off the coast of Chile respectively. 



APLOCHITONIDAE 

 Aplochiton zebra, Jenyns. 



1842, Zool. 'Beagle', Fish., p. 131, pi. xxiv fig. 1.

 Siidpol.-Exped., v (6), p. 22. 

 No specimens of this species were obtained by the expedition, but Mr Bennett has 

 sent one (about 300 mm.) collected in the Falkland Islands in 1912. This species is 

 known locally as "Trout".
