During a visit paid to Norfolk Island in December, 1915, 

 Mr. A. M. Lea, Entomologist to the South Australian 

 Museum, made a collection of fishes, an examination of which 

 enables me to add materially to the known fauna of the 

 island. Two of his fishes, representing the genera Archamia 

 and Chironemus, do not appear to have been hitherto 

 described. 



In 1910, when in New Zealand, I published a list of the 

 fishes then known from Norfolk Island/ 1 ) but stated that the 

 list was unsatisfactory, inasmuch as specimens received in 

 Sydney some years previously had been only roughly listed, 

 and could not then be again examined. Mr. A. R. McCul- 

 loch has since kindly looked over nearly the whole of this 

 material, preserved in the Australian Museum, and has 

 cleared up many of the questions involved ; he further adds 

 several species received after my list was published, and the 

 results of his inquiries are embodied herewith. 



The following list purports to be complete for Norfolk 

 Island as far as the fishes are at present known, and their 

 range to Lord Howe Island and Australia on the west, and 

 the Kermadecs and New Zealand on the east and south respec- 

 tively, is likewise indicated ; to visualize reference the columns 

 are arranged in geographical sequence, with Norfolk Island 

 in the middle. The presence of a Norfolk Island species in 

 Australia or New Zealand is represented by x in the respective 

 columns ; the letters in the three middle columns indicate the 

 initials of the authors who first recorded the species for the 

 island in which column it appears, and the bibliography may 

 be consulted for reference to further details in connection 

 with the records : —
