MEMOIRS OF THE QUEENSLAND MUSEUM. 
fish, Chcetodon constrictus, is described therein, but, as it has been overlooked 
by most systematists, attention is called to it here. The type-locality of this 
fish may be designated Botany Bay, New South Wales. The illustration of 
Chcetodon constrictus is dated “ London Published Octr. 1, 1793, by I. Sowerby 
& Co, No. 2. Mead place Lambeth.” The name is synonymous with Chcetodon 
armatus White and Enoplosus white Lacepede, from the same district ; thus 
Chcetodon constrictus Shaw = Enoplosus armatus (White).

Sherborn quotes the anonymous introduction of the name Nason in 
January 1802 in a work which I have not seen but which is apparently a 
review of Lacepede’s book. Naso Lacepede “ 1802,” published in the tenth 
year of the French Republic, therefore evidently appeared in 1801.

A 20-inch specimen (I. 4637) in the Queensland Museum from Yeppoon, 
Queensland, and presented by Mr. J. Stevenson, has been identified by Mr. 
T. C. Marshall as Naso tuberosus. A sketch of this fish, made by Mi-. Marshall, 
shows that it is an old specimen with a hump developed below the anterior 
portion ox the dorsal fin. The type-locality of this species is Mauritius and the 
Queensland form may be distinct, but I hesitate to give it the new name it 
probably deserves without fuller data at my disposal. An up-to-date work on 
the fishes of Mauritius is greatly to be desired so that comparison may be 
made between Mauritius, Indo-Pacific, and Australian forms. Although early 
writers regarded them as c-onspecific, the fishes of Eastern Australia and those 
of Mauritius are almost certainly distinct.
