It differs from both E. taeniatiis and E, poeyl in its much 
greater relative length and in the larger number of rays in the 
dorsal hn. The chief differences are shown in the following

Unforliiiiatcly the tins are a good deal broken, and it is im- 
possible to count the rays of cither the dorsal or anal with accuracy, 
no doubt these breakages occurred when it was washed ashore, and 
if the large s])ine at the commencement of the dorsal found in E. 
pocyi was ever present it has disappeared. Tn other respects the 
example agrees in its structural features with Gunther's descrip- 
tion. the postanal spine is exposed evidently owing to the abrasion 
of the skin in that region and just behind it there is a large oval 
scale similar to that described and figured by Gunther. I'here is 
no trace of the six narrow red<lish bands which Poey describes 
in E. tacniatus and if one may judge from Goode and Bean’s 
figure, the ridge on the forehead is not nearly so high as in that 
species, but agrees with that of E. poeyl 
The radial formula is: P»T Dcirca 120, A14d-, CIT, P12, and the 
dimensions of the specimen are: Total length 1415 mm., length of 
head 120 mm., greatest height, 50 mm., diameter of orbit 15 mm. It 
is thus intermediate in size lietvveen the Havana specimen which is 
only Ido mm. long and the ATauritius specimen which is 7Sin. in 
length. 
The specific name of Anzac was suggestd by Air. Peek as being 
specially suitable for a fish found in Australian waters and nearly 
related to the famous Frost-fish { Lepldoptis caudatus) so well- 
known in New Zealand,
