172 NOTICES OF NEW FISHES. 



vorax, described by Count Castelnau, from Cape Schank, and I 

 provisionally place it in that genus. Assuredly it cannot be 

 placed in the Family Atherlnldce, notwithstanding its many points 

 of resemblance, but I am not quite satisfied as to its real affinities, 

 and therefore refrain from placing it, as was suggested by the 

 late Count Castelnau, in a new Family to be named N eoatherinidce. 



Urolophus bucculentus. n. sp. 



This species differs from U. testaceus in being broader on the disk, 

 and in having the snout terminating in a more distinct triangular 

 point, in having the tail shorter, with the dorsal- fin much larger, 

 and the caudal broader and more rounded. But the chief difference 

 is in the mouth, which in this species is more than three times 

 larger proportionately to the size of the fish than in U. testaceus. 

 The nasal valve is almost truncate, and not fringed, and there 

 are twelve short papillae at the bottom of the mouth. 



Trawled outside Port Jackson, in 40 to 60 fathoms.
