* Labre fourche et Caranxomore Sacrestin of Lacep. A fish of the family Menides 
but not classed by Cuvier; its place should be after the Gerries. 
¢ A new species brought by MM. Quoy and Gaimard from the Isle of France. 
It isa neighbouring species to the Cheilodactylus zonatus. 
¢ A new species discovered in Macquarie River, New Holland. It approaches 
closely to the Latilus doliatus and the Coryphéne chinoise, Lacep. 
§ It is a new species found by MM. Quoy and Gaimard during their second 
voyage, and closely approximates to the Grystes Macquaniensis. 
|| This is one of the most remarkable among all the little Apistes. It was sent 
from Java by Messers Kuhl and Van Hasselt. The three first thorny rays of its 
dorsal, placed on the neck, are so distant from the others, and the membrane that 
unites them to the rest of the fin is so low, that they form, it may be said, a distinct 
fin, so that at the first glance we are inclined to take the fish for a Trachinus ; 
but we are quickly undeceived when we remark that the rays following are also 
thorny, on almost the whole length of the dorsal; in short its figure is nearly that 
of the Scorpena scrofa. 'The head resembles that of a Scorpena; the profile scarcely 
descending at all. The eyes of middling size, are separated by an interval of 
double their diameter; the lower jaw ascends obliquely to meet the other: 
there are soft teeth in the jaws, before the vomer, and in the palate; the orbit 
and the cranium have only slight bones without points. The under anterior 
orbital has two sharp points, of which the upper, rather longer than the other, 
does not go beyond the under part of the middle of the orbit. The great sub-orbital 
is only marked by some projecting wrinkles. The preoperculum is rounded, has a 
very short spine, followed by three small flat teeth ; the operculum has two bones and 
two little points: there are only six rays to the gills, the membrane of which is much 
sloped. The first dorsal spine ascends above the edge of the preoperculum, and the 
two following proceed almost from the same points; the fourth is on the anterior 
third of the pectoral; the fifth and last on the anterior third of the anal; all are 
straight, very strong, and nearly uniform. The end of the dorsal is only composed 
of four branchial rays, of which the fourth is attached above the tail the whole of its 
length, without, however, quite extending to the caudal. The Anal has three spines, 
and also four branchial rays, of which the last attaches itself like that of the dorsal,
