WEST AFRICA 



35 



spines on each side of the snout; each supraorbital ridge bearing 2 or 3 very blunt 

 spines ; humeral spine simple, truncate or rounded posteriorly. First ray of spinous 

 dorsal more than | as long as head, reaching beyond base of third ray when laid back, 

 with a complicated terminal flap; second ray broken off; third and fourth progressively 

 shorter, with pairs of short lateral branches ; fifth and sixth developed, connected by 

 membrane basally. Soft dorsal with 8 rays, anal with 6, pectoral with 15 or 16. Greyish 

 brown ; lower surface of pectoral rays blackish. 



This is the first species of the genus to be described from the Atlantic. Of the Indo- 

 Pacific species it appears to approach most nearly to C. moselyi, Regan, from deep 

 water north of New Guinea. I have much pleasure in naming this interesting fish 

 after Dr Stanley Kemp, F.R.S., Director of Research of the Discovery Expedition. 



SOUTH AFRICA 



About 170 specimens were obtained in South African waters, representing 54 species. 

 A few of these were collected at St. 90 (Basin of H.M. Dockyard, Simon's Town, 

 False Bay), from the loth to the 12th of July, 1926, but the majority were obtained 

 during the voyage made by Mr E, R. Gunther and Mr F. C. Fraser on the ' Richard 

 Bennet ' from the 6th to the loth of July, 1927. A number of stations (A-Q) were made 

 during this trip, and, in order to avoid needless repetition, the details of these stations 

 are given below, only the letter referring to the particular station appearing under the 

 different species. All the fishes were taken with the commercial otter trawl. Nearly all 

 the species represented are to be found in Dr K. H. Barnard's excellent monograph on 

 the Marine Fishes of South Africa, ^ and a reference to this work is given in each case.
