ScorPis HECTORI, Hutton. 
Dr. Günther has identified this fish with his Anthias richardsoni, and it 
is also certainly the same as Perca lepidoptera, Forster( “Desc. Anim.,” p.138); 
so its name will have to stand Anthias lepidoptera. I agree with Dr. Hector 
in separating A. fairchildi ; Y should have done so, but was doubtful of the 
true form of the original specimen of S. hectori, which had been preserved 
in carbolic acid and dried. 
PAGRUS UNICOLOR, Quoy and Gaim. 
To this species belongs Sciena aurata, Forster. 
MENDOSOMA LINEATA. 
Sciena lineata, Forster, is identical with Latris hecateia, Richardson; so 
that this species should stand, Mendosoma lineatum, Gay. 
LATRIS ROSA, sp. nov. 
B. 6, D. 15 | 55; A 3%5; L. Lat. 116; L. Trans. 10/82. 
Length, three times the height, or three and three-quarter times the 
length of the head. No teeth on the vomer or palatine bones. Top of the 
head and cheeks, scaly; snout, naked. Nine simple pectoral rays. Above, 
coppery. Lateral line, and one or two irregular narrow streaks above it, 
lead-blue. Pectoral, anal, dorsal, and caudal fins, reddish-brown ; blackish 
at the tops. Belly, silvery. | 
Habitat : Otago Heads. 
Type stuffed in the Otago Museum. This fish has the same fin formula 
as L. bilineata, Castlenau, but it differs both in form and colour, and has no 
prolonged filament from the fourth anal ray. 
SEBASTES PERCOIDES, Solander. 
To this Species belongs Scorpana cottorides, Forster. 
GaSTEROSTEUS punctatus, Forster. (Scomber punctatus, Dl. Schn.)
