Tlie specific name auratun, being the first given, should be adopted, and as the species differs 

 from the Spari and Pagri by the obsolescence of the inner lateral cranial crests, the new generic 

 name Pagrosomus may be given.

The identity of Oligorus gigas and Perca prognathus was first recognized by Prof. Hutton, 

 (Trans. N. Z., Inst., Vol. v, p. 259), but, influenced by undue respect for the opinion of Dr. 

 Giinther, he retained it in the genus Oligorus instead of restoring it to the genus Polyprion, to which 

 Cnvier and Valenciennes, with their superior knowledge, had previously properly referred it.
