ADDITIONS TO THE FISH FAUNA OF LORD HOWE ISLAND — WAITE. 201 
Chironemus marmoratus, Gunther. 
The Kelp-fish is common on the coast of New South Wales, 
and is, I learned from the Lord Howe Islanders, sometimes caught 
off the coral reefs. We have an example in the Museum, obtained 
by Mr. Icely, and this is recorded by Ogilby,* but for reasons 
applied to Trachinotus , is also noticed here. 
Amphiprion latezonatus, sp. nov. 
(Plate xxxiv.) 
D. xi. 15. A. ii. 13. V. i. 5. P. 17. 0. 15 + 2. L. lat. 38. 
L. tr. 6/18. 
Length of head, to which the caudal fin is equal, 3*6, height of 
body 2-0 in the length (caudal excluded). Diameter of eye 2*8, 
length of snout 3*5 in the length of the head. Interocular space 
very slightly convex, a little more than the diameter of the eye. 
Twelve gill rakers on the lower limb of the first arch, the centre 
ones narrow and rather long. Teeth conical in a single series in 
each jaw. Preopercle denticulated, its angle in advance of the 
centre of the eye. Opercle formed of two lobes strongly spinose. 
Dorsal fin without notch, its first spine placed above the margin 
of the opercle, its length less than the diameter of the eye, the 
eighth spine is the longest, and is one-tenth longer than the eye ; 
the central rays are the longest, twice the diameter of the eye. 
The anal spines are short but stout, and the longest rays are more 
posterior than the corresponding ones of the dorsal. 
The pectoral and ventral are long and equal, one-seventh 
longer than the head, the latter extending to the base of the 
second anal spine. The caudal is forked, the upper rays the longer, 
the length of the pedicel equals its height, which is one half the 
length of the head. 
Scales . — The scales are large, with entire margins, the lateral 
line, which terminates in advance of the dorsal rays is composed 
of thirty eight scales, this is also the number of the series between 
the opercle and the caudal. 
Colours . — General colour dark brown with three light cross 
bands, the first is as wide as the diameter of the eye, the posterior 
margin of which it embraces ; it passes from the occiput, in front 
of the dorsal spines downwards and forwards, and crosses the 
preopercle, opercle, and sub-opercle: its posterior margin is convex 
and on the dorsal profile this margin is deflected forwards. The 
second band arises in the space between the eighth spine and the 
second ray, its anterior edge takes a forward sweep gaining the 
ventral profile just behind the ventral fins, its hinder edge is
