  by 
  Dr. 
  Ian 
  S. 
  R. 
  Munro. 
  They 
  have 
  been 
  useful 
  in 
  the 
  diagnosis 
  of 
  

   this 
  genus. 
  Two 
  vertebral 
  counts 
  were 
  21 
  + 
  26 
  and 
  21 
  + 
  26. 
  

  

  Dr. 
  Munro 
  sent 
  me 
  two 
  other 
  lots 
  of 
  atherinids 
  that 
  I 
  have 
  identified 
  

   as 
  Stenatherina 
  honoriae 
  (Ogilby). 
  Seven 
  specimens 
  came 
  from 
  the 
  

   lower 
  reaches 
  of 
  the 
  Noosa 
  River, 
  Queensland, 
  and 
  the 
  other 
  from 
  the 
  

   Barrow 
  River, 
  Kuranda, 
  North 
  Queensland. 
  The 
  vertebrae 
  were 
  

   19 
  + 
  19 
  in 
  one 
  specimen, 
  whereas 
  Ogilby 
  recorded 
  21 
  + 
  20. 
  

  

  Some 
  of 
  the 
  species 
  in 
  the 
  Australian 
  region 
  centering 
  around 
  Tae- 
  

   niomemhras, 
  Oraterocephalics, 
  and 
  /Stenatherina 
  cannot 
  be 
  assigned 
  to 
  

   the 
  correct 
  genus 
  until 
  their 
  types 
  are 
  examined. 
  Undoubtedly 
  new 
  

   genera 
  will 
  be 
  proposed, 
  or 
  possibly, 
  as 
  connecting 
  and 
  intermediate 
  

   species 
  are 
  studied, 
  some 
  of 
  these 
  genera 
  will 
  be 
  united. 
  

  

  Named 
  Stenatherina 
  in 
  reference 
  to 
  an 
  atherine 
  fish 
  with 
  a 
  narrow 
  

   premaxillary 
  process. 
  

  

  A 
  reexamination 
  of 
  specimens 
  collected 
  by 
  me 
  in 
  the 
  Phoenix 
  and 
  

   Samoan 
  Islands 
  indicates 
  that 
  U. 
  S. 
  N. 
  M. 
  Nos. 
  115112 
  and 
  115113 
  are 
  

   Stenatherina

  p.

  19-14 
  (geno- 
  

   type: 
  Atherina 
  evernianni 
  Eigenmann). 
  

  

  The 
  generic 
  diagnosis 
  was 
  based 
  on 
  six 
  specimens 
  of 
  A. 
  evernianni 
  

   from 
  Cuba 
  bearing 
  U. 
  S. 
  N. 
  M. 
  numbers 
  65697, 
  1 
  cotype; 
  126667, 
  4 
  

   cotypes; 
  and 
  102203. 
  

  

  Apparently 
  this 
  genus 
  is 
  monotypic 
  and 
  so 
  far 
  has 
  been 
  found 
  only 
  

   in 
  the 
  fresh 
  waters 
  of 
  the 
  Island 
  of 
  Cuba. 
  

  

  Prof. 
  Luis

  Salle, 
  Habana, 
  Cuba, 
  has 
  kindly 
  

   summarized 
  for 
  me 
  some 
  of 
  the 
  localities 
  where 
  A. 
  evermanni 
  occurs 
  

   on 
  the 
  Island 
  of 
  Cuba: 
  Laguna
