There are VI, 8 dorsal and 6 anal rays, the first ray of the 

 spinous dorsal simple and ending in a flap, the others fringed. 

 I'here are two teeth on each side of the vomer. 



Chirohphius J^^aresii, Giinther. 

 The single specimen was taken at the Philippines at a 

 depth of 115 fathoms. The humeral spine is curved up- 

 wards; the pectoral rays number 14; the posterior series of 

 fixed teeth of the premaxillary are 13 in nun)ber. The 

 principal measurements are : — Total length with caulal, 

 276 mm. ; length without caudal, 220 mm,; length of liead, 

 128 mm.; snout, 28 mm. ; eye diameter, 19 mm.; interorbital 

 width, 19 mm. ; length of humeral spine, 13 mm. ; length of 

 rays of spinous dorsal, I, 67 mm., II, 60 mm., Ill, 90 mm., 

 IV, 76 mm., V, 64 mm., and VI, 31 mm. Colour: brownish 

 above, lighter below ; dorsal pale, unspotted ; caudal mottled 

 with blackish. 



Chirolophius Moseleyi, sp. n. 



This species is based on a single small specimen obtained to 

 the north of New Guinea at a depth of 152 fathoms. It differs 

 fiom the preceding in having a long straight humeral spine, 

 second ray of spinous dorsal and caudal longer, snout some- 

 what longer, and, considering the difference in size of the 

 specimens, it would seem that the eyes are smaller and the 

 interorbital space wider in this species. The principal 

 measurements are: — Total length with caudal, 80mm.; length 

 without caudal, 60 mm. ; length of head, 36 mm. ; snout, 

 9mm.; eye diameter, 6 mm.; interorbital width, 6 mm.; 

 humeral spine, 5 mm. ; length of rays of spinous dorsal, 

 I, 18 mm., II, 31 mm.. Ill, 25 mm., IV, 18 mm., V, 13 mm., 

 and VI, 7 mm. Colour: brownish above, lighter below; 

 dorsal light, with rows of dark spots; caudal pale, immaculate. 



Named in memory of the late Professor Moseley. 



Chirolophius Mun-at/i, sp. n. 

 The single example of this species was taken at Nares 

 Harbour, Admiralty Islands. The pectorals have 18 rays, 

 instead of 14 as in the two preceding species. The simple 

 humeral spine is curved backwards. The snout is shorter, 

 eyes larger, and interorbital space narrower than in C. Naresii, 

 and the relative length of the rays of the spinous dorsal is 

 also quite different. The principal measurements are : — 

 Total length with caudal, 205 mm. ; length without caudal, 

 160 mm.; length of head, 95 mm.,' snout, 16 mm. j eye
