11. Tiiyrsites altivelis. Thyr . radiis pinnae dorsi 
aculeatis , corpus altitudine cequantibus; dentihus 
inter maxilla? utriusque quatuordecim , in latere max¬ 
illa? inferioris utroque duodecim. 
Radii:— Br. 7 — 7; P. 14; V. 1, 6; D. 20 —], 11 et VII.; A! 1, 
10 and VII. ; C. 17$. 
A single specimen of this fish in the collection agrees 
in most particulars with the description of Thyrsites atten 
in the Histoire des Poissons; but the spinous rays of the 
dorsal fin are considerably higher in proportion, and the 
teeth on the jaws much fewer. 
12. Blennius Tasmanius is an undescribed species 
strongly resembling some of the European ones. 
13. Clinus despicillatus differs from C. perspicil- 
latus of the Histoire des Poissons in possessing a thicker 
form, a larger head, a proportionably smaller eye, and in 
wanting the nuchal marks which give the name to that 
species. The marks on the body are arranged as in per - 
spicillatus ; but there are three transverse bands on the 
pectoral and caudal fins, with many other spots not 
mentioned in the description of the latter. The dorsal 
rays are 36, 4, and in other particulars the two fish seem 
to be much alike. 
14. Labrus laticlavius. Lab. smaraydinus , f asciis 
binis lateralibus puniceis purpureo maryinatis , posticc 
in unam coalcscentibus , inque pinna cauda? productis ; 
pinnfi dorsi basi viridi, in media late purpurea : svperni. 
aurantiaca , purpureo guttata , inque margins extremo 
ceerulca; pinna ani basi aurantiaca, dein primulaceo*
