252 THE FISHES OF NEW GUINEA, 



Ixora Beckleri. Bentli. Fl. Austr. III., 415. 

 On the Coomora. 



Timonius Eumphii. Dc. Prod. IV, 461. 

 At Peel Island and Stradbroke Island. 



Knoxia corymbosa Willd. Spec. PL I., 582. 

 At Mudgeraba, and Knapp's Creek. Even in these two places 

 it seems to be scarce. 



Asperula oligantha F. v. M, in Heerl. Kamid. Arch. IV. 

 The variety conferta, once acknowledged as a distinct species is 

 very common on the Hats of the Upper Lagoon. Another variety 

 elongata was gathered by the writer at Stanthorpe. Under the 

 name A. oligamtha Baron von Mueller, in Frag. IX., 187, has 

 collected A. subsimplex Hook. A. scoparia, Hook. A Gunui, 

 Hook. A pusilla, Hook. A. ?nimina, Hook. 



Galium australe. Dc. Prod. IV., 608. 

 On the Logan. Under Galium australe, the forms, aporinc, and 

 albescens are now included ; and under G. umbrosum of Solander 

 we have varieties of G. geminifolium F. v. M. Gaudichaudi Dc. 

 and ciliare Hook. Without much hesitation the genera Galium 

 and Asperula may be thrown into one, as they do not present 

 important generic differences. The reduction of species in botn 

 genera may portend generic reduction. 



Contribution to a Knowledge of the Fishes cf New 

 Guinea, No. 4. 



By William Macleay, F.L.S., &c. 

 In my three previous papers on this subject, I gave a list of all 

 the fishes collected by Mr. Goldie at and about Port Moresby, and 

 a few places on the coast lying north and west from it ; I now give 

 the results of his labours in the extreme south east of New 

 Guinea, including collections made at Hood Bay and eastward to 

 the D'Entrecastreaux Group of Islands. A few only are from the 

 Gulf of Papua.
