FISHES. 



By albert GUNTHER, M.A., Ph.D., M.D., F.R.S. 



The majority of the fishes collected by Mr. Brenchley, belong to 

 known species, and were obtained at previotisly-a.scertained localities ; 

 therefore I have considered it superfluous to give a complete list of 

 the species collected by him, selecting for description in this account 

 those forms only which are imperfectly known or appear to be new. 

 It so happened that tlie Trustees of the British Museum obtained, 

 nearly at the same time, two other collections, which, together with 

 Mr. Brenchley's specimens, supplied sufficient materials for forming 

 an idea of the character of the ichthyological fauna of two localities, 

 the fishes of which have been hitherto unknown or nearly so, namely, 

 of the Solomon Group, and of the Molucca island of Misol. The 

 following two lists contain the result of my examination of these 

 three collections.
