nearer to tip of snout than to base of caudal or equidistant from 
base of pectoral and origin of anal, extending nearly 3 of the 
distance from their base to the origin of anal. Caudal truncate. 
Caudal peduncle 12 as long as deep. Greyish, with traces of 
darker vertical stripes; a dark bar above the pectoral.

9. GALAXIAS HUTTONI, sp. n. 7 (Plate X. fig. 2.) 
Teeth apparently as in G. attenuatus. Depth of body 
about 7 in the length, length of head nearly 5. Snout a 
little shorter than eye, the diameter of which is 3-34 in the 
length of head, interorbital width about 24. Jaws equal an- 
teriorly; maxillary extending to below anterior } or anterior + 
of eye. 7 branchiostegals. 9 gill-rakers on the lower part of 
anterior arch. Dorsal I1I--IV 7-8; distance from origin of dorsal 
to base of caudal 33-3? in the length of the fish. Anal TV—V 10-12, 
commencing below the origin or anterior part of dorsal, when laid 
back not extending to the caudal. Pectoral extending from more 
than 4 to 2 of the distance from its base to the base of ventral. 
Ventrals 7-rayed, originating at a point equidistant from tip of 
snout and base of caudal, or nearer the former, or equidistant from 
base of pectoral and origin of anal, extending from more than 3 to 
2 of the distance from their base to the origin of anal. Caudal 
emarginate. Caudal peduncle 12-2 as long as deep. Yellowish 
with brown cross-bars ; fins pale.
