Fishes from the Falklands and the Burdwood Bank. 



This collection comprises 14 species. Among them there are two very well de- 

 fined new species of the genus Notothenia. Another species of Nototlwnia is found 

 new to tlie district, so is also Maynea and a Liparis which might prove to be en- 

 tirely new. An Ilucocoetes appears to differ from specimens collected at Tierra del 

 Fuego. According to DOLLO's valuable extracts ' from the literature the fauna of 

 the Falklands contained 21 species. This number is by this collection increased to 

 at least 26. The additions which are not entirely new to science were before known 

 from the Magellan territory, with which the Falklands also otherwise closely agree 

 with regard to its Ichthys. 



BoULENGER has not long ago described from the Falklands a fish PItucococtes 

 flaviis ' not found elsewhere and therefore probably endemic at these coasts. The 

 discovery of some more fishes about which a similar supposition can be made is of 

 interest, and points out the long isolation of the Falklands from the biological centre 

 of the Magellan Archipelago, or the southern end of the South American continent.
