contained the specimens when Dr. Giinther drew up his Catalogue, 

 judging by both fish being under one and the same heading (c) 

 it seems questionable whether the error of misplacement was 

 mine. However, as Dr. Giinther was disinclined to correct an 

 evident transposition (by whomsoever made), it accounts for his 

 statement that my figure of P. parr ah is " not good," because he 

 compared it with a specimen of another species, P. perlee, which 

 it was not intended to represent. 



The reason why the specimen of 3J inches long, which I gave to 

 the British Museum, has " its osseous dorsal ray very feeble and 

 much less strong than that in P. parrah," as observed by Dr. 

 Giinther, is evidently owing to its being an " immature example ;" 

 therefore his suggestion that " it is possible the specimen belongs 

 to a distinct species not recognised by Mr. Day" is unnecessary.
