6. Rkina ancylostoma Schneider, Syst. Ichth., p. 352, 1801; fam. 
RhinolatidcB. A specimen of this fine guitar-fish was 
captured some years ago iu Moreton Bay, and forms now a 
part of the mounted collection in the State Museum. This 
is also an Australian record. 
% Riiynchobatus djtdd Kirs is (Forskal), Descr. Anim., p. 18, 1775; 
fam. ead. Not uncommon on our coast. 
8. Pteroplatea attstkalis Ramsay & Ogilby, Proc. Linn. Soc. 
N. S. Wales, x, 1885, p. 575 (3. iv. 1886) ; fam. Dasyatidce. 
Not uncommon in Moreton Bay. 
9. Stolephorus robtstus (Ogilby), Proc. Linn. Soc. N. S. Wales, 
xxii, 17. ix. 1897, p. 64 ; fam. Clupeidce. Visits Southport in 
large shoals during the colder months. 
10. Hyperlophus copii Ogilby, ibid., p. 72 ; fam. ead. Same as 
preceding. 
11. Exonatjtes oxrcEPHA.LUS (Bleeker), Nat. Tijds. Ned. Ind., iii, 
1852, p. 771 ; fam. Exoccetidce. There is a fine example of 
this species in the State Museum from Torres' Straits, thus 
entitling it to a place in our fauna and that of the Common- 
wealth. 
12. Cypsiltjrus melanocercus (Ogilby), Proc. Linn. Soc. N. S. 
Wales, x, 4s. vi. 1885, p. 123 ; fain. ead. Occurs in Moreton 
Bay. 
13. Ichthtocampus CTNCTTis (Ramsay), Proc. Linn. Soc. N.S.Wales, 
vii, 23. v. 1882, p. Ill ; fam Syngnathidce. There is a single 
specimen from Moreton Bay in the State Museum. 
14. Lutianus gibbus (Forskal), Descr. Anim., p. 46, 1775; fam. 
Lutianidas. There is a fine specimen in the State Museum 
from the " Torres Group," thus constituting an addition to 
the fauna of Queensland and Australia. 
15. Dactylopus* dacttlopus (Cuvier & Valenciennes), Hist. Nat. 
Poiss., xii, p. 310, 1837 ; fam. Callionymidce. Not uncommon 
in Moreton Bay. Also an addition to the Australian fauna. 
The following new names are proposed as substitutes for others 
held to be wrongly employed — 
1. Anyperistitts perug-L/E for Eumeda elongata Perugia ; not of 
Castelnau (v. supra). 
2. Mugtl alcoce:i for M. subviridis Gunther; not of Cuvier & 
Valenciennes. 
* Gunther (B.M. Catal. Fish., iii, p. 151) states in a footnote that this name is 
"preoccupied." On consulting* Scudder's " Nomenclator Zoologicus " I find that 
Gill's Dactylopus (1859) has the precedence by three years over Claus in Crustacea. 
Dactylopius Costa (about 1841), proposed for a genus of Hemiptera, does not interfere 
with Dactylopus, and probably is not even from the same root. Vulsus Gunther, is 
therefore unnecessary.
