ADDITIONS TO THE FISH FAUNA OF LORD HOWE ISLAND — WAITE. 1 93 
the body as being greyish-white, or grey lead colour. In all the 
fresh examples I have seen, yellow enters noticeably into the 
colour of the ventral fur, and the almost blue colour of Water- 
house’s figure is certainly never seen in this species. The dark 
frontal streak of Gould’s drawing is intended to illustrate the 
convergence of the hairs to the centre of the head, but there is no 
colour band there as might be inferred.

It was my intention to prepare a complete list of the known 
Fish-fauna of the island, but I notice that Mr. Ogilby, in 1898, 
also in the paper quoted, writes — “As it is, the list as it now 
stands needs careful revision, but I hope within the next few 
months to be in a position to lay before the Society a thoroughly 
revised and enlarged catalogue of the fish fauna of the island.” 
Under these circumstances I will leave the field open to Mr. 
Ogilby, and publish the following list of additions in order that 
his “revised and enlarged catalogue” may include the Museum 
records, not otherwise available to him. 
Washed by a warm southerly current, Lord Howe Island 
supports a much more tropical fauna than is met with in lower 
latitudes on the mainland. It lies in latitude S. 31° 33', and on 
the west side possesses an extensive coral reef. On the mainland 
no coral reef is found south of Strad broke Island in Queensland,
