(jrilbertella,'^ are alluded to in almost precisely the same words 

 as those in which I pointed them out ; as there can be no 

 question as to the identity of the two fishes, my description 

 having been taken from an immature, his from an adult example, 

 the name Gilbertella is fortunately unnecessary. Whether it is 

 Castelnau's Serranus annatus or not, it is impossible to decide, 

 unless the type be in existence ; if this be not the case, his 

 description is so bad that the name should be ignored. 



* My friend Mr. Waite appears to have become inoculated with some 

 of the prevailing topsyturvydom of Australian nomenclature, since he 

 proposes the diminutive appellation for the larger fish.
