6. Harengula rnoluccensis Bleeker. 



Ten specimens from Bacon (no. 3606 to 300'.) 3 1 19 to 3551 . 1026 and 1027. and 3932; length 4.2 to 5.75 

 in.) and 8 from Bulan (no. 3426 to 3432 and 3893; length 4.1 to 5.25 in.). 



The base of the ventrals is under the middle of the dorsal, whose origin is much nearer tip of snout than 

 to base of caudal, or midway between tip of snout and base of last anal ray. In Bleeker's figure of this species 

 the ventrals are shown too far forward, as he explains in the text.
