COTTOIDEJE. 



12. Trigla papilionacea (Solandei-, p. 23.). The Kumu. (Trigfa pa- 

 pilionacea, Parkinson, 2. 1. 104. TV. kumu, Lesson et Garnot, Coquille, 

 pi. 19., C. and V., 4. p. 50. Jenyns, Zool. Beagle, p. 27-). 



Parkinson and Solander saw this gurnard in Tolaga bay, at Opooragee, 

 and on other parts of the coast of New Zealand. INT. Lesson, and at a later 

 period Mr. Darwin procured specimens of it in the Bay of Islands. Solander 

 describes the colours of the recent fish more fully than any succeeding writer. 



13. Scorp^na cardinalis (Solander, p. 28.); Parkinson, 2. 1. 12. Annals, 



ix.p.212.) 

 The ' Pisces Australia? ' contain a long description of this species. The 

 habitat there assigned to it is Motuaro, but on Parkinson's drawing the more 

 general one of Eaheenomauwee, or the northern island of New Zealand, is 

 given. Much of Solander's description is quoted in the Annals of Natural 

 History. 



14. Scorpjena cottoides (Forster apud Schneider.). (Scorpcetia cottoides, 



G. Forster, 2. 1. 190. Synanceia papillosa, Bl. Schn. p. 196.) 

 Forster's figure has a strong resemblance tot\\c. Scorpama ergastulortim of Van 

 Diemen's Land (Annals, ix.), but wants the black mark on the first dorsal 

 fin. Cuvier compares it with the cirrhosa and venosa of the ' Histoire des 

 Poissons.' Its New Zealand name is " enooheetara." 



15. Scorp^na plebeia (Solander, p. 21.). (Rich. Annals, ix. p. 214.) 

 Little is known of this species. Solander, who found it in Tolaga bay, de- 

 scribed its colours merely, and there is no figure of it extant. It remains 

 therefore for the local investigator of the Zoology of New Zealand, to com- 

 pare it with the established species. 



16. ScoRPiENA cruenta (Solander, p. 5. Annals, ix. p. 217.). 



Neither have we any figure of this fish. It was procured off Cape Kid- 

 nappers, and has the black mark on the dorsal fin which is so conspicuous in 

 the European scrofa and ergastulorum of Van Diemen's Land. 



17. Sebastes percoides. (Scorpana percoides, Solander, p. 4. Parkinson, 2. 



1. 16. Annals, ix.) 



This fish was obtained at Motuaro in Queen Charlotte's Sound on Cook's 

 first voyage. Parkinson's unfinished drawing does not express the generic 

 characters with precision, and Solander's description is confined to the tints of 

 colour exhibited by the recent fish. 



The following members of the cottoid family frequent the coasts of New 

 Holland : Scorpana miles (Zool. Tr. 3.) ; Sc.jacksoniana (Quoy et Gaim.) ; 

 Sc. hurra (Annals, ix. p. 215) ; Sc. panda (Annals, ix. p. 216); Sc. ergas- 

 tidonim (Annals, ix.p.217); iPlatyeephalus endrachtmsis (C. andV.); PI. 

 fuscus (C. and V.); PI. bassensis (C. and V.) ; PI. laevigatas (C. and V.) ; 

 PI. inops (Jenyns, Zool. Beagle) ; Apisfes aust/alis (C. and V.) ; Apistcs 

 ? (Jenyns, Zool. Beagle) ; Synanceia trachynis (Annals, ix. p. 385).

18. Cheilodactylus carponemus (C. and V. p. 362.). {Scianoidcs abdo- 

 minalis, Parkinson, 2. t. 52. Sparus carponemus, G. Forster, 2. t. 206; Chei- 

 lodactylus carponemus, Zool. Trans. 3. p. 99.) 



This species was obtained on Cook's first voyage at Matarruhow, and on 

 the second in Dusky Bay. Quoy and Gaimard found it in King George's
