- Description: Online version of original print edition of the Special Publication of the J.L.B. Smith Institute of Ichthyology; No. 46 , The Indian Ocean angelfish from southern Africa heretofore identified as Pomacanthus striatus (Riippell, 1836) is Pomacanthus rhomboides (Gilchrist and Thompson, 1908). P. striatus is shown to be the young of P. maculosus (Forsskål, 1775) which is not known from South Africa; it occurs in the Red Sea, Persian Gulf, and along the East African coast to at least 13°S. Holacanthus coeruleus Cuvier, described from a juvenile specimen from the Red Sea, is a junior synonym of Pomacanthus asfur (Forsskål), not P. semicirculatus (Cuvier), thus casting doubt on the record of the letter from the Red Sea.

- Description: Online version of original print edition of the Special Publication of the J.L.B. Smith Institute of Ichthyology; No. 45 , Pogonophryne platypogon is described from a 61.0 mm SL juvenile specimen collected near Queen Maud Land, Antarctica. This species belongs to the dorsally spotted group of Pogonophryne but is distinguished from other known species of the group in having a smoothly flattened terminal expansion on the mental barbel and a very narrow snout and jaws (jaw width less than 13% SL). It also has a very narrow interorbital region (less than 5% SL).
