182 MEMOIES OF THE QUEENSLAND MUSEUM. 



Jordan and Snyder as equal to that between the latter and the anterior margin of 

 the eye; in the Queensland fishes it is invariably longer than Glinther's measure- 

 ment but not quite so long as Jordan's, while in the Solomons fish it is consider- 

 ably shorter. I consider, therefore, that it is impossible to recognise a species 

 founded on characters so inconstant, and I, therefore, unhesitatingly refer 

 Z. vmitcngu to the synonym of P. volitans. 



PERCOMORPHI. 



SERRANID^. 



CALLANTHIAS ALLPORTI Giinthor.' 



A specimen of this handsome fish is in the collection of the Amateur Fisher- 

 men 's Association; it was captured on the Snapper Grounds off Cape IMoreton, 

 and is the most northerly record for the species. 



CHEILODIPTERID^. 



AMIA FLEURIEU (Lacepede).* 

 The same collection contains a fine example of this fish obtained at Darnley 

 Island by Dr. J. R. Tosh, which is, I believe, the only Australian specimen yet 

 recorded, though Macleay had previously listed it from Port JMoresby. B.N.G., 

 under the name Apogon aureus.^ 



? CENTROPOMID^. 



GLAUCOSOMA MAGNIFICUM (Ogill^y). 



In the 3rd volume of these Memoirs I described and figured, as 

 ,Efganichthys tnagiii'ficus,'^^ a fish which I placed provisionally in the family 

 Pemphericlce. On receipt of my paper Mr. Tate Regan kindly wrote to me 

 suggesting that my fish was a Glaucosoma, and this on re-examination I found to 

 be the case. The great superficial resemblance to Pempheris and Sclmettia, 

 combined with its dissimilarity, until closely compared, to our common Epaulette 

 Pish or Pearl Perch (G. scapulare) ,^'^ cjuite deceived me, and I have to thank Mr. 

 Regan for giving me this opportunity of correcting my mistake.

CffiSIO CHRYSOZONA Kulil & v. Hasselt.12 

 A fine specimen is in the Amateur Fishermen 's Museum ; it was captured 

 in Moreton Bay. 



APRION MICROLEPIS Bleeker." 



The Queensland Museum possesses a fine example of this fish, measuring^ 

 395 millim. It was identified by Mr. de Vis as A. prisiipoma,^^ and was pre-
