DESCRIPTIONS OF SOME NEW AUSTRALIAN FISHES. By E. P. Ramsay, F.R.S.E., and J. Douglas-Ogilby.
In the following paper will be found descriptions of four new fishes from Australian waters, the two first having been obtained in Port Jackson, namely, Gobius depressus, and Monacanthus mosaicus ; the remaining two, Solea textilis and Galaxais kayi were sent for identification to us from the Adelaide Museum.
GOBIUS DEPRESSUS. sp. UOV.
D. 6 : 1/10 : A. 1/9 : V. 1/5 : P. 17 : C. 15 : L. lat. ca. 42. L. trans, ca. 12.
Length of head 5 J, of caudal fin 3|, height of body 11 in the total length. Eyes close together on the upper surface of the head, the diameter is 4 \ in the length of the head and equal to that of the snout, which is obtuse. Head very much depressed, its breadth equal to the distance between the anterior margin of the eye and the gill-opening ; its height 2g in its length. Cleft of mouth oblique ; lower jaw much the longer. Maxilla does not reach to the front margin of the orbit. Several rows of pointed teeth in both jaws, the outer row in each being much enlarged especially in front, and moderately curved. Fourth dorsal spiue the longest, much more than the height of the body ; the last spine is so far removed from the penultimate as to be almost midway between it and the origin of the soft dorsal : pectorals long, reaching to the vent and equal in length to the head : anal commences beneath the
BY E. P. RAMSAY, F.R.S.K., AND J. DOUGLAS-OGILHY. 5
first dorsal ray, and terminates beneath the eighth : caudal elongate, pointed. Anal papilla small. The colors appear to have been yellowish-brown, the head and fins being darkest.
The specimen measures three and a half inches, and was obtained by Mr. Brazier beneath a stone between tide marks on the Bottle and Glass Reef, Port Jackson, during last November. When it came into our hands it was unfortunately almost denuded of scales, whence the difficulty of determining with certainty the numbers on the lateral and transverse lines. Its registered number is B. 9,758.
MONACANTHUS MOSAICUS. sp. 710V.
D. 35-36: A. 32-34: P. 13: C. 12.
Length of head 3 J, of caudal fin 4^, height of body 1| in the total length. Eyes situated far back on the head, three diameters from the end of the snout, and one apart. Gill-opening oblique, reaching but little below the upper angle of the base of the pectoral, and equal to a diameter of the orbit, beneath the middle of which it is placed. Teeth with strong sharp angular points at intervals. Upper profile of snout rather concave ; back between the dorsals straight, and with a gradual rise to the origin of the second dorsal. The dorsal spine commences above the anterior third of the eye ; it is moderately strong, curved backwards, and bears four series of small barbs, the anterior pair being close together : soft dorsal and anal low, the longest rays being in the first quarter. Ventral spine very short, fixed ; pectorals situated directly beneath the eyes ; caudal rounded. Skin velvety. Colors, red with anasto- mosing blue lines on the head and body ; some of the upper spaces so formed have a large central spot of umber brown ; caudal brownish .
The description has been taken from two specimens measuring respectively 4§ and 4 inches, which were trawled off Shark Reef, Port Jackson, on the 9th instant. Registered numbers B. 9754-5.

A CONTRIBUTION TO THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE FISH-FAUNA OF NEW GUINEA.
By E. P. Ramsay, F.R.S.E., and J. Douglas-Ogilby.
The fishes described in the following paper form part of the collections obtained (1) by Mr. Froggatt during the recent expedition sent out by the Geographical Society of Australasia to New Guinea, and (2) by Mr. H. Sniithurst, chief engineer of the Governor Blackall, during the official visit of the late Sir Peter Scratchley to the coast of that island. In both cases these gentlemen were fortunate in securing new and distinct species, though, as may be supposed, Mr. Froggatt, having the advantage of investigating a new and till then unexplored region, obtained the greater number of novelties. Of the twenty-five species brought home by the two expeditions no less than twelve are here described as new, namely, — Ambassis gig as, Scolopsis macro- plitlmlmus, Equula smithursti, Gobius concavifrons, N ematocentris novce-guinece, JV. rubrostriatus, Arius froggatti, A. spatula,, Hemi- pimelodus dayi, H. crassilabris, Engraulis scratchleyi and Corica papuensis ; of the remaining thirteen species ten have not, so far as we know, been recorded by previous authors from the south- east coast of New Guinea: these ten are as follows : — Ambassis agrammus, Synagris notatus, Lethrinus mahsenoides, Gazza minuta, Eleotris porocephalus, E. butis, E. gyriaoides, Periophthalmus schlosseri, Ghat'Oessus nasus, and Gyrtus gulliveri, of which latter we give a full description on account of the many errors in that of Count Castelnau. The remaining three are Toxotes jaculator ,

Genres abbreviatus, and Chwtodon lineolatus, for the last of which we are indebted to Mr. Peter Henderson, chief officer of the Governor Blackall, who picked it up at Port Moresby.

Length of head 3£, of caudal fin 4, height of body 2h in the total length. Diameter of eye 3{| in the length of head, f of a diameter from the end of snout, and jj of a diameter apart. Lower jaw the longer. Upper surface of head deeply concave, owing to an abrupt rise from above the last third of the eye to the root of the dorsal fin : the maxilla reaches to the middle of the orbit. Vertical limb of preopercle entire ; lower double edge serrated, the upper more coarsely so, the denticulations at the angles being very strong in both : interopercle finely serrated posteriorly ; pre-orbital with its lower edge serrated, and with a raised ridge bearing one or two serrations superiorly : two small spines at the postero-superior angle of orbit. Villiform teeth in the jaws, vomer, and palate, the outer row in the former enlarged; no lingual teeth. Second dorsal spine very strong, rather longer than the head without the snout ; second anal spine much longer and stronger than the third, more than the head behind the eye. The last spine of the first dorsal is f of the spine ol the second dorsal, and is attached to it throughout f of its own length. Part cf the outer ventral ray is filiform, and reaches to beyond the origin of the anal : the pectorals are equal in length to the second dorsal spine : caudal forked. Lateral line continuous. Cheeks and opercles scaly. Colors, yellowish above the lateral line, each scale with a brown marginal streak interrupted in the middle, giving the fish a more or less banded appearance : sides and lower parts silvery : vertical fins dusky ; a deep black spot behind the tip of the second dorsal spine.
The specimen measures over 8^ inches ; its register number is B. 9958.

Vertical limb of the preopercle with strong simple denticula- tions, those on the produced angle being the coarsest ; opercle with a distinct spine. Teeth in the jaws small, acute, and separated ; those in front of the upper jaw rather longer and curved. Dorsal spines moderate, the third and fourth equal and longest, about J of the height of the body, and little more than the diameter of the eye ; the fifth, sixth, and seventh rays longer than the spines : third anal spine longer and as strong as the second, equal in length to the longest dorsal spine : pectorals as long as the head : the ventrals do not quite reach to the anal : caudal forked, the upper lobe rather the longer.

in that of the snout, which is equal to the convex interorbital space. Upper profile of the head deeply concave, owing to a gibbous hump on the occiput which has a roughened bony edge, and immediately behind which the rudimentary dorsal spines com- mence. Jaws equal when the mouth is closed ; maxilla reaches almost to the hind margin of the orbit. Preopercular edge double , both angles, but especially the lower, strongly spinous. Supraorbital ridge rough. Teeth villiform, very numerous in the jaws ; in a narrow band on the vomer and palatines.

Though from an examination of Count Castelnau's type speci- men, which is fortunately contained in the collection of the Australian Museum (B. 9208), we have come to the conclusion that our fish is identical with his species, we have thought it best to redescribe it here, because of the numerous errors in the Count's description, which are so marked that, if we had not had the type specimen for comparison, we should assuredly have made a new species of our fish. Our specimen is from the Strickland River, New Guinea.

Opercle wider than high. All the barbels short and hairlike, the maxillary just touching the opercle. A few short sharp teeth irregularly scattered over the jaws ; none on the vomer or palate. Dorsal fin higher than the body ; its spine is weakly serrated in front and behind, and is £ of the length of the head ; base of the adipose dorsal J of that of the rayed fin. Pectoral spine much shorter than that of the dorsal, smooth externally, but strongly denticulated on the inside, not reaching to the ventrals, which themselves barely reach the anal. : caudal deeply forked. Colors, steel blue above, silvery on the sides, white below, the different tints blending imperceptibly together : a small white spot on the top of the head in the groove ; fins light-colored.
The example described measures 9^ inches, and is entered in the register as B. 9938 ; its mouth was completely filled with young ones, having the yelk-bag still attached ; the total length of the young fish is § of an inch, while the diameter of the yelk-bag, round which it was partially curled, is more than J of an inch at this stage of their existence ; the adipose fin extends from oppo- site the anal fin to the caudal, with which it is confluent ; the caudal also is but slightly forked. In a second example the young are much more developed, the yelk-bag has been absorbed, the caudal is more forked, and the adipose dorsal, though still large, has severed connection with it. In our smallest example, but 5 inches in length, the teeth are but little more numerous than in the specimen described. We name this fine species after Mr. Francis Day F.L.S., F.Z.S., &c, whose magnificent work on the fishes of India is indispensable to every student of Indo-Pacific ichthyology.

Notes and Exhibits.
Mr. Ogilby exhibited specimens of Hemipimelodus Dayi, described in his Paper, showing the method, employed by the male hsh, of hatching the young and preserving them from danger, by carrying them in his mouth ; he remarked that this habit had been observed in several species of the nearly allied genera Arius and Osteogeniosus, both in India and South America.
Mr. Ramsay exhibited an Albino Bat from a cave in Jamaica, probably of the genus Taphozous.
Mr. Masters exhibited a chicken with four legs.
Mr. T. W. Edgeworth David, of the Geological Survey, exhibited a number of fossils from cores lifted by the Australian Diamond Drill Company, in the neighbourhood of Wallsend, Lake Macquarie. The specimens, which were collected by Mr. W. H. Smithers, showed very distinct and beautiful impressions of plants characteristic of the Upper Newcastle series, as Glossoptei'is Browniana, Philotheca sp., &c. Although the diameter of the core was only 2^ inches, the fragments of leaves were so perfectly preserved as to admit of the determination of their species. The cores were obtained at depths varying from a few feet to 660 feet below the surface.
Dr. Cox exhibited two New Caledonia Sling Stones, each of about lib. weight, of an oval shape and formed from stalactitic calcite. They were said to have been found in a hollow tree on the Bellenger River, but no explanation of their change of locality was offered.
WEDNESDAY, 24th FEBRUARY, 1886.
The President, Professor W. J. Stephens, M.A.,F.G.S., in the Chair.
The President announced that the Committee appointed to decide upon the merits of the Essays in competition for the Society's Prize of One Hundred Pounds for the best Original Essay on the Life- History of the Bacillus of Typhoid Fever, have reported that the only Essay which came before them, and which was distinguished by the motto " Advance Australia," is disqualified by the fact that it does not deal at all with the history of the Microbe in question ; and that the Council had consequently determined that, as the prize had now been offered for two successive years, without bringing to the front the original investigation required, the offer should not be renewed, and that the Hundred Pounds given by a member for this purpose should be returned to the donor.
The President further announced that the donor had transferred the said sum to the credit of the general funds of the Society.

NOTE ON CRIOCERAS A US TR ALE, MOORE 1 A LOWER CRETACEOUS FOSS£L FROM QUEENSLAND. (1)
By Felix Ratte, Ing. Arts et Manuf., Paris.
(Plates I. and II.)
This fossil, one of the largest of the Cephalopods, seems to 1 >e identical with the species described in the above paper, by Mr. Chas. Moore, in the Quarterly Journal of the Geological Society, under the title, " On Australian Mesozoic Geology and Paleon- tology, etc."
A part only of the fossil is represented by a reduced figure and the shape of the septa has not been recorded, in Moore's paper.
The present paper is accompanied by a drawing of the septa (PI. 1), on a scale of about f , from a large specimen in the Austra- lian Museum.
The difficulty of drawing the septa in ammonites and allied fossils, arises from the fact that, although the testa only may have been removed in some places showing its intersection with the septa, in other places the abrasion has removed a deeper layer, and also the ultimate sub-divisions of the septa, leaving a broader and more simple intersection. Moreover, the ramifications of one septum come so close to the next, and apparently intermix so much with it, that it is temporarily lost. This explains why slight additions of an approximative character have been necessary to complete the figure.

134 NOTE ON "CRIOCERAS AUSTRALE,"
Ho *vever, some of the characters of the genus will be sufficiently illustrated, namely : — The septa divided into six lobes, the dorsal lobe only being formed of a par number of divisions, the other lobes formed, in general, of an impar number of divisions; and the dorsal siphuncle.
The description given by Chas. Moore deserves to be quoted beforehand.
" Shell very large, discoidal ; whorls rounded , incurved, the " inner whorls rather closely fitting but separate. In the younger " state, as seen in the reduced figure, the shell possesses regular 11 rounded slightly curved ribs with intervening rounded sulci, " which increase in width with the age of the shell. In the adult " shell the ribs become widely separated, the largest chamber " measuring at the back 3^ inches, and they possess very acute " ridges, with two depressed bosses on either side, the depression " between the ribs being regularly concave."
" The block containing the last five chambers of the shell is " slightly compressed on the back ; and, though it is not complete, "the mouth measures 7^ inches in depth by 7 inches in breadth. " The siphuncular tube is small and situated immediately under " the back of the shell," (loc. cit. p. 257).
The elements of the measurements in the specimen here repre- sented (PI. 2) approximately are as follows : —
Maximum diameter, 28^ in.
Thickness of the last whorl, 10 to 12 in., or at least ^ of the above diameter.
The thickness, in the larger whorls, seems to be, as observed by Mr. Moore, larger than the width, therefore, the excentricity (— thSness) which, for the smaller whorls is about constant and of ™, would, thus be reversed in the larger ones, but it has been impossible to measure it owing to the imperfect state of the fossil. Compared with the width of the shell the space between the ribs at the back is about ^,, for the smaller whorls represented and for the external ones, but it increases considerably towards the aperture being about ^ in the last coiled whorls and ^ or more in the largest part that it has been possible to measure.
