On a Collection of Fishes Made by Dr. Marshall Laird at Norfolk Island By Henry W. Fowler, The Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, U.S.A.; Bernice Pauahi Bishop Museum, Honolulu, Hawaii. (Communicated by L. R. Richardson.) [Read before a meeting of the Wellington Branch, July 23, 1952; received by the Editor, July 24, 1952.] Abstract Norfolkia n.g. (F. Clinidae), allied to Gillias, established to contain N. lairdi n. sp. and the following recorded and variously discussed:— O. Muraenida: Gymnothorax flavimarginatus, G. nubilus. O. Percida: Serranus daemelii, Girella cyanea, Pomacentrus fasciolatus, Parma polylepis, Abudefduf sordidus, A. polyacanthus, Halichoeres binotopsis, Thalassoma umbrostygma, Cirripectus variolosus, Salarias lineatus, Rhabdoblennius snowi, Tripterygion rufopileum, Clinus perspicillatus, Eviota viride, Bathygobius fuscus. From February 5 to 12, 1952, Dr. Laird collected the intertidal pool fishes from the (partly) coral reef at Kingston, Norfolk Island (S. Lat. 29° 03′ 45″ E. Long. 167° 58′ 6″). These were forwarded from the Department of Zoology, Victoria University College, Wellington, New Zealand, under date of March 7, for identification and study. The collection contains 100 specimens which I refer to 18 species, of which a clinid appears to be a new genus and species. It affords me great interest, as it is the first lot of fishes from Norfolk Island I have ever had opportunity to study. Little appears to be known of the fishes of Norfolk Island, and the literature pertaining to it is most brief. I am presenting several drawings, including the new species and interesting phases of others. As most of the species listed in this collection are additions to the fauna of the island, I trust they merit the references and comments given. In this connection I wish to thank Dr. Laird with deep appreciation for the favour of placing this material at my disposal. In concurrence I also wish to gratefully acknowledge the assistance rendered to him by a Hutton Grant from the Royal Society of New Zealand. Order Muraenida. The Eels. Muraenidae Gymnothorax flavimarginatus (Rueppell). One 235 mm. Dark brown in alcohol, obscurely mottled or marbled with darker. On outer face on each jaw, as 4 above and 4 below, row of small white spots ocellated with darker or blackish borders. Gill opening with black border all around. Inside mouth no inner teeth above, below front of eye, as shown by Bleeker (Atlas Ich. Ind. Néerl, vol. 4, 1864, p. 95, Pl. 178, Fig. 3).
