80 "endeavour" SCIENTIFIC RESULIS. 



I have accordingly treated it from both points of view, quoting 

 it and using the new names as though they had appeared accord- 

 ing to the rules of nomenclature, while redescribing and figuring 



the actual specimens, so far as is possible, on which the names 

 are based, 



Mr. Ogilby was on board the " Endeavour '" during the greater 

 part of the time she was in Queensland waters, and his paper 

 deals with some of the more striking fishes which attracted his 

 attention. Some of his descriptions were prepared on board the 

 ship, and the type specimens were forwarded to Sydney without 

 labels or other identification marks, and without being again 

 examined by him. The preparation of a second description of 

 such specimens as can be identified as his types has enabled me 

 to rectify errors in the original diagnoses which were doubtless 

 the result of their hurried preparation. The following species 

 were described as new — Raja polyommata, Saurida filamentosa, 

 Macrorhamphosus lancifer, Dentex spariforinis, Pentapus aurifilum, 

 JJpeneoides filifer, Sillago auricomis, Chcerodon frenatus, Chcerodon 

 ambigmus, Chcerodon monostigma, Antigonia rubicunda, Neosebastes 

 incisipinnis, Scorposna grandisgitainis, Apistus macrolepidotus, 

 Minous versicolor, Wrosa iridea, Paroxentropogon scorpio, Para- 

 centropogon uespa, Tlyalorhynchus pellucidus, Lepidotrigla umbrosa, 

 Lepidotrigla grandis, Lepidotrigla argus, Lepidotrigla calodactyla, 

 Dactyloptenapapilio, Arnoglossus cacatuos, Uranoscopus terrmreginoe, 

 Callionyinus affinis, Chirolophiw laticeps and Halieutaza brevi- 

 cauda. The last two are redescribed anil figured here, and 

 Hyalorhyiichus pellucidus is shown to be synonymous with 

 Elates thompsoni, Jordan and Seale. Figures of others have 

 been prepared, and will be published later. 



In conclusion, 1 have to thank Mr. H. C. Dannevig, Common- 

 wealth Director of Fisheries, for valuable information on the 

 occurrence of the specimens forwarded for examination.
