. The Australian zoologist. Zoology; Zoology; Zoology. WHITLEY. 425 Family Teuthidae. Acronurus formosus Castelnau, 1873. (Fig. 42.) There are two specimens of this species in the Museum at Paris of which I select the larger (standard length, 62 mm.) as lectotype. Regd. No. 7096A. Vi/5. First ray long. This is evidently the young stage of some Surgeon Fish, like Teuthis, having still the characteristic vertical body-striae. Further specimens are needed to ascertain what the adult looks like. Locality.—"Noble-Irland"; , Knob Island, Torres Strait, Queensland

Neosillago marmorata Castelnau, from Port Walcott, north-western Australia, has not been satisfactorily identified and classified since it was first described in 1875. However, on comparing Castelnau's description with Richardson's figure (Icones Piscium, 1843, p. 4, pi. i., fig. 1) of Percis emeryana from Depuch Island, north-western Australia, I find the two tally very well. Thus Neosillago marmorata = Percis emeryana = Percis nebulosus Quoy & Gaimard, 1825, from Shark's Bay. This species enters the genus Parapercis Bleeker, 1863, but Neosillago may be retained as of at least subgeneric rank with Chilias as an indirect synonym. Family Gobiidae. Koumansetta, gen. nov. Orthotype, K. rainfordi, sp. nov. Body elongate, compressed, covered with circa 60 scales, ctenoid posteriorly, becoming cycloid anteriorly. Head compressed, scaled above behind eyes, cheek with embedded scales, opercle scaled. Eye in anterior half of head, interorbital narrow. Snout pointed. Both nostrils in a rim. Mouth a little oblique, upper jaw prominent. Teeth in some rows, in upper jaw outer row enlarged, in lower jaw outer row enlarged, extending to half- way along the jaw, last tooth a curved canine. Laterally inner row of teeth in lower jaw enlarged. Tongue tr
