64. Parma microlepis (Gthr.). 

 Port Jackson. 



65. Parma squamipinnis (Gthr.). 

 Port Jackson (Krefft, 2) . 



66. Heliastes hypsilepis, sp. n. 



This species is allied to H, notatus; but each scale on the 

 middle of the side of the body is twice as deep as long, whilst 

 it is only somewhat deeper than long in that Japanese species. 

 The height of the body is a little less than one-half of the total 

 length (without caudal). A whitish spot below the end of the 

 soft dorsal. Upper half of the base of the pectoral black. 



New South Wales (Krefft). 0«^-18 long. 



67. Labrichthys gymnogenys {Gthr.). 



Port Jackson (Krefft, 2). 



The specimens from Port Jackson are 8 and 9 inches long, 

 and agree perfectly with the typical examples, which are of the 

 same length. However, Mr. Krefft has sent us two other exam- 

 ples, 11 inches long, which differ in a remarkable manner in 

 their coloration, but appear to be merely a variety. They are 

 uniform dark brown, only the tail being somewhat lighter, the 

 middle ventral rays black. In other respects they are perfectly 

 identical with the younger examples. 



68. Labrichthys laticlavius (Rich.). 



Tasmania, King George's Sound, Port Jackson (Krefft). 

 Young with the lateral bands very indistinct or entirely ab- 

 sent. 



69. Odax Kic/iardsonii (Gthr.). 

 Odax Hyrtlii (Steindachner). 



New South Wales (Krefft, 61), Hobson's Bay, Victoria. 



70. Gerres philippinus (Gthr.). 

 Philippine Islands, Cape York, Nicol Bay. 



71. Dinematichthys m,izolepis, sp. n. 



Very similar to D. iluocoeteoides and marginatus, but with 

 conspicuously larger scales, there being about ninety transverse 

 series. Head naked. Palatine teeth in a long stripe. 



Cape York. 2 inches long. 



72. Copidoglanis brevidorsalis, sp. n. 



This species differs in a singular manner from its congeners in
