358 RECORDS OF THE AUSTRALIAN MUSEUM. 



former to the British Museum for comparison with Giinther's 

 type. Mr. Tate Regan has very kindly looked into the matter 

 and informs me they are the same species. 



Family BERYCID^E. 



Trachichthopes, ( rilch rist . 



Trachichthodes, Gilchrist, Marine Invest. S. Afr. ii., 1903, p. 

 203 (T. spinosus, Gilchrist). 



Aiistrooeryx, McCulloch, Zool. Res. "Endeavour," i., 1911, p. 

 39 (Beryx affinis, Giinther). 



My genus Atistroberyx is evidently identical with Trachich- 

 tliodes. Gilchrist does not mention the trenchant abdomen with 

 a row of slightly enlarged, keeled scales, though he notes that it 

 is without scutes. He states that the only head-scales are on 

 the cheeks, but his figure also shows them on the operculum as 

 in Austroberyx. In all other details his definition agrees with 

 mine. 



Family MACROURID^E. 



Macruronus NOV.s-zELANPi.ffi, Hector. 



Coryphamoides novce-zelandice, Hector, Trans. N. Zeal. Inst., iii.,

Through the kindness of Mr. Robert Hall, Curator of the 

 Tasmanian Museum, the Australian Museum has recently 

 received a specimen of Coryphamoides tasmanice, Johnston, It 

 was one of several in the old collection of the museum, which, 

 though labelled as lieing that species, were without other data. 

 I think they were very probably identified and presented 1>\ 

 Mr. Johnston. Others are in the Australian Museum from the 

 northern coast of Tasmania, ami they agree perfectly with 

 Waite's figure of Wacruronus novat-zelandai, which species has 

 already been recorded from Tasmania by Giinther.
