103. Anguilla latirostris, Risso. (Cat., p. 65.) 
Mr. Henry Travers brought three specimens of this eel from the Chatham 
Islands. 
112. Solenognathus spinosissimus, Giinth. (Cat., p. 69.) 
Last April I saw a nearly fresh specimen of this fish that had been picked 
up at the Bay of Islands ; it was of a uniform pale yellowish colour. 
114. Monacanthus convexirostris, Giinth. (Cat., p. 71.) 
When fresh this fish is of a darkish grey colour, with the dorsal and anal 
fins, as well as the iris, bright yellow. 
115a, ARACANA AURITA, Shaw. C.M. 
: A. aurita, Giinth., VIIL, p. 266. 
Carapace compressed, rough with papille, posterior edges sinuated, five- 
keeled, those on each side of the back and abdomen slight, that on the lower 
part of the abdomen strong ; a spine over each eye, two of equal size and near 
together on each dorsal ridge, a single one on each side, and two of equal size 
on the keels on each side of the abdomen, the foremost situated at about the 
vertical from the tip of the pectoral fin. 
Yellowish, with thin irregular undulating brown longitudinal stripes. 
Two specimens were left at the Museum, the donor and locality unknown. 
Found also in Tasmania and South Australia. 
117. Chilomycterus jaculiferus, Cuv. (Cat., p. 73.) 
In a letter to Dr. Hector, Dr. Giinther says that he finds that this fish 
should be referred to the genus Dicotylicthys. 
118. Orthagoriscus truncatus, Lacep. (Cat., p. 73.) 
Since the “ Catalogue of New Zealand Fishes ” was published I have had 
an opportunity of examining the sun-fish in the Auckland Museum, and I 
find that it belongs to O. mola and not to O. truncatus. 
122. Zygena malleus, Risso. (Cat., p. 76.) 
A small specimen of this shark has lately been caught in Auckland harbour. 
127. Notidanus indicus, Cuv. (Cat., p. 79.) 
A specimen of this shark is in the Auckland Museum. 
131. Euprotomicrus, sp. (Cat., p. 81.) 
I now believe that the jaws which I doubtfully referred in the “ Catalogue 
of New Zealand Fishes” to this genus really belonged to a young specimen of 
Carcharias brachyurus. 
139. Geotria chilensis, Gray. (Cat., p. 87.) PL XT. ` 
Riwaka River, Nelson.
