The above long list of references and synonyms is taken from Günther's Catalogue, and is no doubt very complete and correct. It will give an idea of the great amount of interest which this remarkable group of fishes has always excited among naturalists, and also illustrates the many mistakes authors have fallen into from their unacquaintance with the great diversity of appearance in these fish at different periods of their growth.

A number of large specimens, about thirty-two inches long, of this species accumulated round the Chevert, when lying at anchor

for ten days off Darnley Island, and several were taken by the hook. They seemed generally to adhere to the sides of the ship near the bows by means of their suckers, but whenever anything edible or looking like it was thrown from the ship, a number of them would at once detach themselves and make a dash at it. These were all full-grown fish, and had slightly bilobed tails. Young specimens about seven inches long taken at Cape York and Warrior Reef present a very different appearance. The middle rays

of the tail are elongate, and the outer rays of the tail and the tips of the first portion of the soft dorsal and anal are of a yellowish white. The number of plates on the suctorial disk is in one of the young specimens twenty-four, in all the others twenty-three.

58.-CARANX CHEVERTI.

Plate X., fig. 1.

D. 8. A. 223.

Teeth viliform, exceedingly minute. Vomer prominent and toothed. Height of body nearly three and a half times in the total length. Head about one-fourth of the same. The maxillary* scarcely reaches the vertical from the anterior margin of the orbit. The lateral line is very slightly curved in front; the straight portion commences about the vertical from the posterior third of the soft dorsal fin, and is slightly keeled on the tail only. The dorsal fin is low, the first five rays being slightly elongate. The anal is similar to the dorsal. The pectoral fins reach to about the line of the third dorsal ray. There is a very distinct black spot

In the previous paper, where the term upper maxillary is used, the maxillary bone is meant.
