Description of two new fishes

Detailed description of two new species of fishes, Eurumetopos johnstonii,nov. sp. and Triptergium clarkei, nov. sp. Eurumetopos johnstonii, nov. sp. This very remarkable fish was found washed on the beach at Bridgewater. Unfortunately the crows had eaten a great part of one side, taking the eyes and the intestines out. I have great pleasure in giving this very remarkable genus the specific name of Johnstonii, in honour of R. M. Johnston, Esq., F.L.S., whose very valuable works in all matters relating to the Natural History of Tasmania and the Geological features of the Island place him as the foremost scientist in Tasmania.
