Of the other species referred to in this Report, little need be 

 said here. Their representation in the " Endeavour " collections 

 has enabled me to extend their known distribution in some cases, 

 and to prepare complete descriptions and figures in others. In 

 all, fourteen species are described as new, and two genera are 

 proposed for known species. Variations of others are also noted 

 and figured. 



An item requiring special reference here is the status of a 

 paper by Mr. J. Douglas Ogilby, entitled " Endeavour Series, 

 No. 1 — On some New Fishes from the Queensland Coast.'' 

 This was read before the Royal Society of Queensland in 

 November 1910, and Avas to have been published in Vol. XXIII. 

 of the " Proceedings " of that Society. It was set up in type, 

 and author's reprints were issued and distributed before it "was 

 withdrawn from publication for reasons stated on page 85 of the 

 same volume, It is fully quoted in the " Zoological Record " for 

 1911 as though it had appeared in the "Proceedings," but, of 

 course all the references there given are unfortunately incorrect. 

 The only copies of the paper extant therefore are a few of the 

 author's reprints which were distributed by him before its with- 

 drawal, so it becomes a matter of opinion as to whether the paper 

 has been published or not.
