(Plates viii. — xvii., and fig. 23.) 



A third collection of Fishes from Western Australia has heen 

 forwarded to the Trustees, by Mi-. Bernard H. AVoodward, 

 Curator of the Western Australian Museum. 



This collection is larger, and richer in novelties than the pre- 

 ceding ones, and yields three new genera : — 



Neatyiyns of the family Scorpididse 

 Bramichthys of the Bramidte 

 Dipulus of the Brotulidte. 



Nine species are described as new : — 



Catidus labiosus. 

 Synodus sayeneus. 

 Neatypus ohliquus. 

 Ch(ftodon assaritis. 

 Bramichthys woodwca rlL 

 Cynoglossus broadhursti. 

 Diptdus cjHcus. 

 PseudomonacmitJi us (jalii. 

 Chddoderm is viaccidlochi. 



Figures of the^e are supplied, and also of the following known 

 species, not previously illustrated : — 



Terapon hiimeralis, Ogilby. 

 Hypsipops viicrolepis. Giinther. 

 Pseudofabfus punctulatns, Giinther. 

 Fat(fcus mncnlatus, Giinther. 



Many of the fishes received are duplicates of those pre^•iously 

 determined, and *are not included in the present paper. A 

 number of species, however, known from Western Australia is 

 herein enumerated ; these claim inclusion by virtue of the precise 

 localities recorded. The majority of such are new to the west 

 coast, they having previously been known from King George's 

 Sound only, which, though politically in the Western State, is 

 on the south coast of the Continent.
