130 ICHTHYOLOGY 
a few transverse narrow obscure lines on the caudal. This is 
certainly the Ed. Octolineatus of Jenyns, but I believe it to 
be only a variety of Sexlineatus, as the two lower longitudinal 
lines are very subject to disappear. 
UPENEUS VLAMINGII. 
The specimen, similar to those of Victoria, is about eight 
and a-half inches long. 
PAGRUS UNICOLOR. 
Already known, from New South Wales, Queensland, Vic- 
toria, and North Australia ; it also extends to New Zealand, 
and seems to inhabit all the Australian Seas, but I do not 
believe that it is found either at the Cape of Good Hope 
or in China as stated, with doubt, by Dr Gunther. 
CHRYSOPHRIS AUSTRALIS. 
Is also called Bream at Freemantle. 
NEOCHiETODON. 
One dorsal with eleven spines; no canines; a small 
pre-eminence with a bifide tooth on the palate ; operculum not 
denticulated, but strongly emarginated behind ; prseoperculum 
strongly serrated at its posterior edge and at its rounded part ; 
anal with three strong spines, the second very large ; scales 
small, adherent ; body high ; the teeth are very long, arched, 
and pointed, crowded on several lines ; mouth small 
The strong denticulations of the prseoperculum separates this 
genus ivom°Chcetodon, and with its palatal tooth would place 
it with Percidoe, if it was not for all its other characters. 
NEOCHiETODON VITTATUM. 
Form oval, high; back gibbous; height only about twice in 
the length without the caudal ; head three times and one-third 
in the same dimension ; eye large, of the length of the snout, 
and contained three times and one-third in the length of the 
head ; this last is entirely covered with small scales ; pra3or- 
bital serrated; operculum strongly emarginated. Dorsal
