MEMOIES OF THE QUEENSLAND MUSEUM. 



already described and figured a species resembling ours from West Australia 

 under the name H. personifer, his paper being now in press. If we are correct 

 in uniting the two species the range of G. conspicillatus will have to be so far 

 extended. 5 



The nearest ally of this species is C. dimidiatus Bleeker 6 from Amboina r 

 but in addition to the marked color differences, the contour of the dorsal surface, 

 the outline of the spinous dorsal, the extra pectoral ray, etc., serve to separate 

 the two species.

5 Mr. McCulloch's paper is just to hand and though in both measurements, shape and color 

 of caudal, and size of paired fins, it differs greatly from our specimens, I believe that the differences 

 are due to age, my specimens being much smaller than his.
