Hemerocoetes pauciradiatus, Regan, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist. (8) xm, 1914, p. 15. 
Depth of body about 8 in the length, length of head 33 to 32, distance from 
tip of snout to origin of dorsal fin 34 to 32, to origin of anal about 23. Snout as 
long as or shorter than diameter of eye, which is 3} to 32 in the length of head ; 
interorbital space narrow; maxillary extending to below middle of eye; 13 very 
short gill-rakers on lower part of anterior arch. About 45 scales in a longitudinal 
series. Dorsal 36; origin above anterior } of pectoral. Anal 32. Pectoral 2 length 
of head ; pelvics reaching vent. Caudal subtruneate. A lateral series of dark spots. 
Two specimens, 50 and 62 mm. in total length, from seven miles east of Cape 
North ; depth 70 fathoms ; bottom sand. 
25. Hemerocoetes macrophthalmus, Regan (PI. xt, fig. 2). 
Hemerocoetes macrophthalmus, Regan, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist. (8) x1, 1914, p. 15. 
Depth of body about 10 in the length, length of head 3? to 4, distance from 
tip of snout to origin of dorsal fin 34 to 34, to origin of anal 22 to 23. Snout shorter 
than diameter of eye, which is 22 to 3 in length of head ; interorbital space very 
narrow ; maxillary extending to below middle of eye; 15 very short gill-rakers on 
lower part of anterior arch. About 47 scales in a longitudinal series. Dorsal 39 ; 
origin above anterior 4 of pectoral. Anal 36. Pectoral 3 length of head; pelvies 
reaching vent. Caudal truncate; upper rays sometimes produced. A series of dark 
spots along middle of side, another series on back. 
Two specimens, 90 and 120 mm. in total length, from seven miles east of Cape 
North ; depth 70 fathoms ; bottom sand. 
I propose the new name J//emerocoetes waitei for the species described and figured 
by Waite (Rec. Canterbury Mus. 1, 1911, p. 245, pl. trv, f. 1) as Hemerocoetes 
acanthorhynchus. The dorsal has 42 rays and the anal 40, and these fins originate 
somewhat further forward than in H. macrophthalmus, which it closely resembles in 
other characters. 
The true J. acanthorhynchus, Forster, is the species described and figured by 
Waite (t.c., p. 247, pl. xrv, f. 2) as ZZ. microps. The original description, that the
