STUittES IN Al'STRALIAN FISHKS JlcCtlLLOCH. 



isl 



D. ix./30. A. ui./2'S. Height below the oiigiu of the soft 

 dorsal, three in the length without the caudal ; head four in 

 the same. Eye 31 in the head. Dorsal and anal fins not 

 produced anteriorly. 



This species has not been recognised since it was originally 

 described. The number of rays in the dorsal and anal fins, 

 as given by Canestrini, distinguishes it from any species of 

 Scorpis known to me. The type was said to have been 

 obtained in Australia. 



Family MONODACTYLID^. 



Genus ScHUETTEA, Steiuclachner. 



SCHDETTEA SCALARIPINNIS, l^feindacliuer. 



ScJinettea scalaripiiiitis, Steindachner, Sitzb. Akad. Wiss Wien, 

 liii., 18G6, p. 449, pi. vi., fig. 1. Id., Giinther, Zool. 

 Rec, 1866, p. 141. LI., McCulloch, Zool. Res. " Endea- 

 vour", i., 1911, p. 81, pi. XV. 



Scorpis boops, Peters, Monatsb. Akad. Wiss. Berlin, 1866, 

 p. 521. Id., Giinther, Loc. cit. 



Scorpis hoops, Peters, has drifted into the synonymy of 

 *S. cequipiiinif!, Ricliardson, to which it beai's no resemblance. 

 It is identical with Schuettea scalaripiinds, Steindachner, as 

 noted by Giinther. 



Steindachner's paper appeared almost simultaneously with 

 that of Peters, but the actual date of publication is unknown 

 to me. The former was "read" on 8th March, 1866, and 

 the latter on 23rd July, 1866. 



Family KYPHOSID^. 



GeniTs Kyphosus, Lacepede. 



Kyphosus cinerascens, Forslad. 



Pimelepterus ciiierasceus (Forskal), Bleeker, Atlas Ichth., ix., 

 1877, p. 15, pi. ccclxiv., fig. 4. Id., Ogilby, Mem. Qld.
