This species agrees with the Callorhynchus Smythi of 
Benue figured in Beechey’s Zoological Appendix, in the 
distance between the pectorals and ventrals, but is so 
unlike that figure in other respects that it is impossible 
to assign it to that species. Call. Antarcticus has large 
pectorals whose tips overlie the base of the ventrals. 
Narcine Tasmaniensis (Nob.). Tasmanian Narcine. 
This species has not yet been compared with Narcine 
capensis , but it is most probably distinct. A full descrip¬ 
tion is given in the paper, to enable authors, who have 
the opportunity of seeing figures or recent specimens of 
Narcine capensis , to point out the differences. It is 
named Ground Shark at Port Arthur and Hobart 
l own. 
Syngnathus ARGUS (Nob.). Ocellated Pipe-fish. 
Syng., depressus, latus , pinnis pectoralibus dorsiquc 
preeditus ; ventralibus caudceque orbatis; dorso ma- 
culis aculeis ornatomaculis albis und serie in ma?'- 
gine ventris dispositis. 
This very handsome pipe-fish differs from all the 
groups of species indicated in the Rigne Animal , in 
having pectoral fins, while the caudal and ventrals are 
wanting. It did not form part of Mr. Lempriere’s col¬ 
lection, but is said to have been presented to the Haslar 
Museum by the surgeon of a convict ship; its exact 
habitat being unknown. 
It was mentioned in the former paper that labels of 
niany of the specimens were detached, so that correct 
references could not be made to Mr. Lempriere’s list. 
Iu this predicament is the ‘Saw-fish’ or ‘Bugler,’ which 
attains the weight of sixteen pounds; but the example sent 
was below the usual size. Also one of the ‘Parrot Fish/ 
known locally as the ‘Blue-head.’ The Thyrsites alti-
