already described and figured a species resembling ours from AVest Australia 
under the name H. personifer, his paper being now in press. If we are correct 
in uniting the two species the range of C. conspicillatus will have to be so far 
extended.^ 
The nearest ally of this species is C. dimidiatus Bleeker*^ from Amboina,. 
but in addition to the marked color dift'erences, the contour of the dorsal surface, 
the outline of the spinous doi’sal, the extra pectoral ray, etc., serve to separate 
the two species.

® Mr. McCulloch’s paper is just to hand and though in both measurements, shape and color 
of caudal, and .size of paired fins, it differs greatly from our specimens, I believe that the differences 
are due to age, my specimens being much smaller than his.
