OF AUSTRALIA.

The general colour, on the dried specimens, is of a reddish 
brown ; the front part of the head is yellow ; a broad black 
band runs rather obliquely downwards, below the orbit. The 
body is marmorated with dark brown, and in some specimens 
there are traces of transverse bands of that colour ; there are 
also some oscellated light spots ; the dorsal and anal are yellow, 
and have five broad transverse obscure bands ; the caudal is 
yellow at its base, and brown in its second half, and the pec- 
torals, on the contrary, are yellow with their base brown. 
All my specimens are about four and a half inches long ; 
they have been found at Western Port. 
CALLIONYMUS. 
Two sorts of this genus are, to my knowledge, found in the 
Victorian seas ; one appears to be a different and undescribed 
sex of one of Richardson's sorts, and the other a new species. 
CALLIONYMUS CALAUROPOMUS. 
Callionymus Calauropomus, Rich., Erebus and Terror? 
Fishes, p. 10, pi. 7. 
My dried specimen agrees with Eichardson's description 
and figure, but the central rays of the caudal are prolongated 
in form of long filamentary appendages, which are longer 
than the fin itself. I believe this to be the male, and that 
Richardson's figure represents the female of the same species. 
It was found in Hobson's Bay. Length of specimen, without 
the caudal appendages, eleven inches. 
CALLIONYMUS OCELLIFER.

The anterior part of the head covered with small white 
tubercules ; the muzzle compressed before the eyes ; the first 
dorsal very high, the first three rays equal, the fourth a little 
shorter ; the second dorsal very large, very high, the rays 
becoming longer towards the posterior part, the last the 
longest of all ; the caudal very long, rounded at its end ; anal 
large, the first four rays equal, the last considerably pro-
