longer and stronger than the third, and its length is one-fifth of that of the head. 

 Furthermore, in G. notata the lines on the body are very distinct and of a bright blue 

 colour, while in M. fulviflamma they are much less distinct and of a yellowish colour. 

 Russell's figure of G. notata and Riippell's figure of M. fulviflamma are sufficiently 

 good. 



We may also remark on this occasion that we have convinced ourselves, from an 

 examination of Cantor's typical specimen of G. notata, which has been transferred to 

 the British Museum since the publication of the first volume of Dr. Giinther's Catalogue, 

 that the fish described by Cantor under that name is not a Genyoroge, but a Mesoprion, 

 and perhaps identical with M. russellii of Bleeker.

The specimens of this collection marked [337] and [632] correspond to the specimens 

 in the British Museum from Amboina. In none of these are there any traces of 

 oblique darker bands ; but in specimens in spirits there are faint streaks following the 

 series of scales, which are not apparent either in the living fish or in stuffed specimens.
