APPENDIX. 



[It was not until the above was in the press and the plates 

 had been drawn, that I saw Kendall and Radcliffe's recent memoir 

 on fishes from the eastern tropical Pacific. I have altered my 

 paper only by taking their names for the new species of Kuhlia 

 and Girellops and by inserting references to their work when 

 our determinations did not coincide. They obtained nine of the 

 eleven species, all but Anamjjses pulcher and Pseudovionacanthits 

 j)aschalis. They also got a number of other species from Easter 

 Island mostly known previously from the tropical Pacific, viz. 

 Myripi'istis pralinius Cuv. & Val., Holocentrumi punctatissimum 

 Cuv. & Yah, DecapUrus sanctce-helence Cuv. & Val., Cyphosus 

 cinerascens Forsk., Fseudupeiieus inultifasciatus Quoy & Gaim., 

 Thalassoma purpn,re'am Forsk., Teuthis umhra Jenkins, KellogeUa 

 oligolepis Jenkins, Alticus variolosus Ouv.tfe Yal., and Xanthichthys 

 lineopicncfatus Hollard. The identification of a species of 

 Monacanthus with the Japanese M. cirrifei' Schleg. seems open 

 to question, and still more so the determination of an Eel as 

 Gyinnothorax clovii Giinth., as the type from Panama ajDpeai's to 

 difier in many respects from the specimens from Easter Island, 

 which, from the data given, seem moi-e like the Indo-Pacific 

 G. meleagris Shaw. 



Finally, the resemblance to Norfolk Island is increased by the 

 addition of two species — the one, TrachypomaDiacracantMis Giinth., 

 apparently not distinct from the Norfolk Island form, the other 

 a Bathystethus, requiring a new specific name.
