Fam. SERRANIDAE. 
Polyprion americanunt. 
This fish is not uncommon in Cape waters and is known to 
fishermen as the “ Bafaro.” Only one has been procured by 
the trawl, and it showed an interesting anomaly in having six 
distinct branchial rays in the ventral fin, the spine having 
apparently been converted into a branched ray. It was pro- 
cured during trawling operations at Mossel Bay, 4th July, 
1902, from a depth of 30-35 fathoms. 
Fam. SCORPAENIDAE. 
Tetravoge monacanthus, n. sp. 
(Plate XXXVII.) 
The fishes which are here described under this name and 
which fall under the genus Tetraroge as defined by Giinther 
(Cat. II., p. 132) would almost necessitate a new genus if the 
further sub-division of this genus, suggested by Day, were 
accepted. It is one of the forms which connect the Cape 
Fauna with that of the Indian Ocean and East Indies, and 
may be, as Mr. Regan, who has examined the specimen, sug- 
gests, IT. dermacanthus of Bleeker, whose specimen was from 
Ceram. In as much, however, as it differs from the description 
of this species in having only one anal spine (not particularly 
small) and has barbels though not well developed it is here 
described as a new species.
