The majority of these were captured well out at sea, and are ymmg stages of 

 oceanic fishes, or oceanic larvae [Leptocephidus, Botlius ocellatus) of coast fishes. 

 Exceptions to this are the larvae and young fi.shes taken in Melbourne Harbour and 

 others captured a few miles ofl' Eio de Janeiro {Sunlhu'Ua, Glyphidodoa, Gohiosoinii, 

 Anci/lopsdta, Si/mj>httni-s) ; also some of the New Ze;dand sjiecies were taken near the 

 coast and may never be oceanic. 



Of some importance in its bearings on the geographical distribution of coast-fishes 

 is the capture of voung J/iiiiirhaui/JiKs uiiifasriutus and ('ri/j'tufoiinis iisfus, Brazilian 

 species, far out in the Atlantic. 



Of greater interest is the case of Liiiiii/c/i//ii/s fasciatus, known previously as a 

 little fish of the rock-pools of New Soutli Wales ami Lord Ifdwe Island; now its range 

 is extended to New Zealand, and its occurrence in localities so wide apart is explained 

 by the capture of the young fish at or near the surface between the Three Kings Islands 

 and New Zealand.
