64 NOTES OIST SOME FISHES FROM THE SOLOMON ISLANDS, 



1 1 . AcANTHITRTJS TRIOSTEGUS, BL 



Gimth. Cat. Fish., Brit. Mus., Vol. III., p. 327. 



One small specimen in the collection of the Australian 

 Museum. 



12. GlYPHIDODON SEPTEMFASCTATUS. 



Gimth. Oat. Fish., Brit. Mus., Vol. IV., p. 40. 



I have one specimen of this Fish, about five inches in length. 

 Dr. Gunther says it is found "from Mauritius to the Philippine 

 Islands and coasts of China." To this may now be added the 

 Solomon Islands. 



13. Exococttjs mento, c. and v. 

 Gunth. Cat. Fish., Brit. Mus., Vol. "VI., p. 281. 

 One specimen about six inches in length. 



14. Olupea Ktjnzei, Bleek. 

 ChpeaMbliiccensis, Ghmth. Cat. Fish., Brit. Mus., Vol. VII., p. 427. 

 I have several specimens about 4^- or 5 inches in length. It is 

 said to be found in enormous shoals some seasons all about the 

 Solommi group. It will probably be found to be a very 

 valuable substitute for sardines or anchovies. 



15. Anguilla Aneitensis. 



Gimth. Cat. Fish., Brit. Mus., Vol. VIII., p. 34. 



Two specimens of an eel were brought from the Solomon 

 Islands, one (about half-grown and a foot in length) is in my 

 possession, the larger one is in the Australian Museum. It 

 resembles A. Aneitensis more than any other species of Anguilla, 

 and therefore I have placed it with that species, but it is probable 

 that further examination will prove it to be distinct.
