Mr. EK. R. Warre’s important and finely illustrated memoir on the 
fishes of the Australasian Antarctic Expedition is especially valuable 
in that it gives the first account of the fishes of Adelie Land, Queen 
Mary Land, and Macquarie Island. 
Of 28 species obtained off the coasts of Antarctica 23 are Noto- 
theniformes ; 4 of these are new, but the majority of the remainder 
were already known from Victoria Land, and it is evident that the 
fish-fauna of Adelie Land and Queen Mary Land is essentially the 
same as that of Victoria Land. Two species, Gerlachea australis 
and Dolloidraco longidorsalis, hitherto known only from Graham 
Land, were taken off Queen Mary Land, adding to the number of 
fishes with a circumpolar distribution. Cryodraco antareticus is 
also recorded from Queen Mary Land, but there can be little doubt 
that the example obtained was C. atkinsoni, and I am disinclined, 
on the present evidence, to accept Mr. Waite’s view that these two 
species are identical. 
Of the four new species, three belong to the family Bathy- 
Graconide ; one of these is a Bathydraco, the second belongs to a 
new genus—Aconichthys—distinguished from Bathydraco by the 
presence of three lateral lines, and the third is made the type of a 
new genus—Cygnodraco—which is doubtfully distinet from Para- 
cheenichthys, since actual examination of specimens shows that in 
the last-named genus the lateral line has no bony plates, and it is 
principally on their absence that Mr. Waite relies in defining his 
new genus. The fourth new species is a new generic type in the 
family Cheenichthyide ; the reduced spinous dorsal fin and the 
presence of a lower lateral line at the base of the anal fin distin- 
guish it from Champsocephalus. 
Of the five species that are not Nototheniiformes, two are 
Macrurids that were obtained by the ‘Scotia’ off Coats Land, two 
are Zoarcids first described from the collection made by the ‘ Gauss’ 
at Wilhelm Land, and the fifth is a Paraliparis that will probably 
prove, if actual comparison can be made, to be specifically identical 
with P. antarcticus, taken by the ‘Terra Nova’ to the south of the 
Balleny Islands. 
Of the ten species recorded from Macquarie Island, five are
