62 NOTES ON SOME FISHES FROM THE SOLOMON ISLANDS, 



yellowish, a dark bar appears to cross the caudal near the apex, 

 but is distinct only on the lower lobe. Total length about eight 

 inches. 



I have only one specimen of this Fish, but I have seen another 

 in the possession of Mr. Ramsay, of the Australian Museum. 

 It is said to be from fresh water, and if so, is probably a species 

 peculiar to the Solomon group. Judging from the description, 

 the H. uninotatus c. and v. from Brazil is the species it most 

 resembles. 



2. Therapon servus, c. and v. 



Ghmth. Cat. Fish., Brit. Mus., Vol. I., p. 278. 



The specimens of this widely distributed Fish in the Solomon 

 Islands collection were so much beyond the usual size, that I 

 was at first disposed to fancy that I had got hold of Hombr. and 

 Jacq. species T. Bonzetianus, Yoy. Pole. Sud. Poiss., p. 43, pi. 4, 

 fig 2. There can be no doubt, however, that the species is servus. 



3. Mulloides Yanicolensis, c. and v. 



Gunth. Cat. Fish., Brit. Mus., Yol. I., p. 404. 



My only description of this species is derived from Dr. 

 Gunth er's work just quoted, and as far as that description goes 

 it agrees perfectly with the specimen before me. It is quite 

 eight inches in length, and Mr. Eamsay has a specimen of about 

 the same size. 



4. Gerres argyreus, c. and v. 

 Gunth. Cat. Fish., Brit. Mus., Yol. I., p. 353. 

 Several specimens about five inches in length. 



5. Pachymetopon squamosum, All. and McLeay. 

 Proc. Linn. Soc. N. S. Wales, Yol. I., p. 275. 



Two small and apparently young specimens of this Fish are in 

 the collection. The reasons for separating this species from
