i quite small specimen from stat. 42, Port Louis, Falklands, depth 8 m., mud 
and shells. 26th of July 1902. 
I specimen from stat. 52, Port Williams, Falklands, depth 17 m., sand. 3d of 
Sept. 1902. 
I specimen from stat. 53, Port Williams. Falklands, depth 12 m., sand and gra- 
vel. 3d of Sept. 1902. 
All these species belong to the variety termed “ micropus ” by SMITT. 1 The 
smallest specimen (from stat. 42) measured only 25 mm. and was pictured, when 
still alive, by Dr. SKOTTSBERG (PI. I fig. 5). 
Both these species of Phucocoetes have been described from the Falklands before. 
II. Maynea patagonica CUNNINGHAM. 
i specimen from stat. 53, Port Williams, Falklands, depth 12 m., sand and gra- 
vel, 3d of Sept. 1902. A young specimen labelled “greyish white with 12 brown 
transverse bands”. 
This species appears to be new to the Falklands, its hitherto known distribu- 
tion being more western. 
From the coast of Chile Steindachner has described 1 2 transversally banded 
specimens of this species collected by PLATE and such a pattern may be the com- 
mon (among the young?), although the type was uniform. 
12 . Ilucocoetes fimbriatus Jenyns n. subsp. fasciatus. 
i specimen among roots of kelp hauled up from a depth of 7 m., Greenpatch, 
Port Louis, Falklands. 27th of July 1902. 
The genus Ihicocoetes appears to be imperfectly known and it contains, no doubt, 
more than one species although hitherto only the specific name fimbriahis originally 
given by Jenyns has been used. This specimen from the Falklands has a rather 
striking colouration being dark brown with 5 — 6 more or less developed whitish 
transverse bars. For fishes living among algæ such a colouration must be of pro- 
tective value, but at the same time transversely banded forms are numerous among 
the Lycodidœ , especially when they are young, so that such a pattern must con- 
sequently represent at the same time an ancestral characteristic in that family. It
