FISHES OF THE PHILIPPINE ISLANDS. 71 



Our specimens agree perfectly with Bleeker's figure of this species, but differ from Gunther's description 

 in the shorter second anal spine. They seem to differ from .V. m/i na (Ruppelli in the lower curve of the dorsal 

 outline and the absence of dark lateral lines along the rows of scales.
