To the rare fishes in ichthyological collections belongs 

 Anomnlops palpebratus. Li 1890 Douglas Ogilby described ') 

 two specimens, caught by Capt. Braithwaite near the New 

 Hebrides, and now preserved in the Australian Museum 

 at Sydney. The author adds, that these specimens » raise 

 the number known to exist in various Museums to eight, 

 and help to show the wide geographical range of this 

 interesting fish." 



The localities where it is found till now are: 



Menado (Bleeker, A. S. S. L N. I, 1856, p. 42). 

 Amboina (Bleeker, A. S. S. I. N. VIII, p. 9, and 



Atl. Ichth. T. IX, ph 355, fig. Ï). 

 New Hebrides (D. Ogilby, Records of the Austr. Mus. 



T. I, p, 69). 

 Candavu, Fiji-Isles (Kner, Sitz. Ber. Ak. W. Wien, 



Bd. 58, p. 294). 

 Paumotu Archipelago (Günther, Fische d. Südsee, p. 1 43).
