MEMOIBS OF THE QUEENSLAND MUSEUM. 
The following eight species also claim recognition for one reason or other : — 
1. Anchovia setirostris (Broussonet). A specimen is in the Queensland 
Museum collected at Cooktown by the late Mr. Kendal Broadbent. 
2. Zenarchopterus dispar (Cuvier & Valenciennes). Three specimens, 
labeled “ Torres Strait,” are in the same collection. 
3. Sphyrjena novje-hollandije Gunther. One specimen from Moreton Bay. 
4. Trachichthys australis (Shaw). One from Pimpama Island, M.B. 
5. Mionurus gillii Steindachner. This species may be added to the already 
long list of cheilodipterids which carry their eggs in the mouth ; two examples 
thus engaged were sent from Eidsvold by Dr. T. Bancroft. 
6. Acanthoclinus littoreus (Forster). The State Museum is indebted to 
Mr. J. L. Bond for a specimen collected in Moreton Bay. It had been previously 
obtained at Masthead Island by both McCulloch and Longman. 
7. C^sio CiERUL aureu s (Lacepede). Not uncommon on the Snapper Grounds, 
off Moreton Bay, where it is known as the “ Fusilier.” 
8. Rupellia eghlnocephala (Riippell). Originally described from the Red 
Sea, this curious little fish was next recorded from the “ China Seas” by Dr. Gunther 
(Brit. Mus. Catal. Fish., iii, p. 35), and subsequently from Bowen (Fische d. Sudsee, 
p. 174, pi. cviii, fig. D). The writer collected a specimen on Nor-West Islet in 1910, 
and Longman obtained some fine specimens on Masthead Island two years later. 
9. Lactophrys reipurlic^:. This name is proposed for the Australian 
three -angled ostracionid. Ostraeion concatenate Bloch is a synonym of the East 
Atlantic 0 . triqueter Linnaeus, described originally from one of Plumier’s drawings, 
its habitat being “ Les Antilles,” as we are told by Bonnaterre. 
The following Devisian species have come into notice during the year : — 
1. Sphyrjena strenua (Proc. Linn. Soc. N. S. Wales, viii, 1883, p. 287) is 
S . obtusata Cuvier & Valenciennes, as also I think is S. lineata Stead (Edib. Fish. 
N. S. Wales, p. 47, pi. xv). 
2. Dactylophora semimaculata (Ibid., p. 284) is Cheilodactylus nigricans 
Richardson (Proc. Zool. Soc., 1850, p. 63) and <7. nebulosus Klunzinger (Arch. f. 
Nat., xxx viii, i, 1872, p. 24). It is also identical with Psilocranium coxii Macleay 
(Ibid., viii, p. 440). De Vis' genus, however, stands as it predates Macleay’s by a 
few months. The correct name is, therefore, Dactylophora nigricans (Richardson). 
3. Chcerops perpulcher (Ibid., ix, 1884, p. 877) is C. cephalotes Castelnau 
(Res. Fish. Austr., 1875, p. 39), as also is C. hodgkinsoni Kent (Great Barrier 
Reef, p. 296, pi. xv, fig. 2 — much too highly colored). Correct name Chocrodon 
ceplialotes (Castelnau).
