152 THE. AUSTRALIAN NATURALIST, 
40 species of fishes, and these were all represented in the first haul. 
This speaks volumes for the fertility of the waters of Port 
Jackson (and incidentally of Rose Bay), as a collecting ground 
for the “ aquarian naturalist.” 
A list of the species of fishes and crustaceans is appended. 
In addition to the crustaceans enumerated, many other inyerti- 
brates were taken. Some of the members present made 
collections for preservation, while Mr. Finckh and the leader 
took home a number of living examples for observation in 
aquaria—among them being a number of the curious crested 
blenny, Bristiceps macleayi (?—=australis). These among others, 
are alive at the time of writing (9/12/’08), and it is most entertain- 
ing to see them actually “walking” about on the floor of the 
aquarium, using their ventral fins, individually, as legs.
