4 SUPPLEMENT TO CATALOGUE OF THE FISHES OF AUSTRALIA, 



and the compilation of a classified Catalogue of the animal life of 

 the country to send, as South Australia has done, all her 

 collections to Vienna, to be recorded in a foreign tongue and in 

 foreign publications. 



I have adopted in this Supplement the same system as in the 

 Catalogue. I number the species consecutively from the last in 

 the Catalogue, and when referring to any pi'eviously noticed, I 

 do so by the number given to it in the Catalogue. I give a 

 description of every genus and species whether new or not, which 

 has not been previously described in the Catalogue, or in the 

 publications of this Society, and I take these descriptions either 

 from Dr. Gunther's Catalogue or from the author direct. 



Family. PEPCIDS. 

 Species 7. Lates Darwiniensis, Macleay. 

 Found by Mr. Morton in Lillesmere Lagoon, Burdekin River. 

 Proc. Linn. Soc, N. S. Wales, Vol. VII., p. 200. 



Species 9. Pseudolates cavifrons, All. and Macleay. 

 Also found in Lillesmere Lagoon, (loc. cit.) 



Species 16. Anthias rasor, Richards. 

 I have lately seen a specimen of this Fish from South Australia, 

 Dr. Klunzinger described it in 1872, as A. rasor var. extensus, from 

 South Australia, and subsequently in 1879, made it a new species. 

 I feel confident, however, that the species is not a good one ; the 

 absence of the lateral spot is, I believe, of not unfrequent 

 occurrence.
