ADDENDA 



The following were described or came under notice during the 

 publication of this work. 



1. LOPHOTES GUNTHERI, JohnstOU. 



B. 6. D. 221+36. A. 6-14. P. 14. V. 1-5. 

 L. lat. 208. Reticulate markings. 

 Johnston, (Proc. Roy. Soc. Tas., 1882.) 

 Rare. 



2. Chilodactylus Mulhalli ? Macleay. The Butter Fish. 



B. 6. D. 15:1-25. A. 3-9. V. 1-5. 

 L. lat. 53. L. tr. 6-16. 

 Length of head nearly equal to depth of body, and contained 

 four and a-half times in total length. Fifth, sixth, and 

 seventh spine of dorsal longest. Body elongate, and 

 somewhat rounded. Mouth protractile. No teeth on 

 vomer or palatines. Villiform teeth on jaws. Opercles 

 covered with small scales. Scales on body three quarters 

 of an inch square, with margins darker and reduced to a 

 flaccid membrane. Pectoral composed of eight branched 

 and six simple rays, the second of the latter longest, and 

 reaching to a vertical drawn through thirteenth spine. 

 Uniform brownish black. Total length, 29 inches. 



I have referred this species doubtfully to C. Mulhalli^ 

 Macleay. It appears to agree with the species named in 

 every respect, with the exception of the number of anal 

 spines,— the Sydney species having 2, and the Tasmanian 

 3. It would be well to examine a greater number of 

 specimens to ascertain if this featui-e be constant. 



8. Apogon Lemprieri, nov. sp. 



B. 7. D. 6 : 1 • 10. A. 2 • 9. L. lat. 27. L. tr. 3 • 10. 



The height of body is equal to length of head, and is contained 

 nearly three times in the total length. Snout short ; 

 length about half the diameter of eye, which latter is fully 

 one-third of the length of the head. The maxillary 

 scarcely reaches to the vertical from the posterior margin 

 of e^'^e. Lower jaw prominent. Two minute cavities on 

 upper part of snout. Hinder margin of prseoperculum 

 minutely dentate. Anterior ridge simple. Spine of oper- 

 culum reduced to a soft pointed membrane. No dark 

 spots on root of caudal.

 gold, and light blue ; lighter towards belly. Tips of ventral
