Gill-opening lateral, not extending quite as far forward as posterior 

 margin of orbit. Rakers 3 + 5, soft fleshy slender processes, much 

 shorter than filaments, which are about equal to horizontal diameter 

 of pupil. Isthmus broad. 



Scales large, arranged in parallel horizontal series, and cycloid. A 

 row of scales along base of dorsal and anal, each forming an adnata 

 sheath. Base of caudal scaly. A scaly pointed flap at inner base of 

 pectoral. Head and fins with these exceptions naked. Skin of head 

 with numerous parallel strise or plications, transverse above and verti- 

 cal laterally. Lateral line of single tubes continuous, a little decurved 

 at first till horizontal. 



Origin of dorsal about opposite that of ventral, nearer base of caudal 

 than tip of snout, fourth ray spine-like with posterior edge becoming 

 coarsely serrated above, and when depressed first branched ray reaches 

 well beyond others or about | of distance to base of caudal. Anal 

 inserted about midway between origin of dorsal and base of caudal, 

 third ray enlarged but with flexible tip, and depressed fin reaching 

 opposite base of caudal. Caudal damaged. Pectoral low, small, and 

 reaching back for about first fifth of length of ventral. Ventral with 

 first branched ray longest and reaching anal. 



Color in alcohol brown, lower surface paler and with traces of silvery. 

 Each scale on back with a dusky-brown spot, regular in disposition, so 

 that longitudinal series are formed, and several persisting even below 

 lateral line, but lowest much paler than those above. Tjower surface 

 of head pale like abdomen. Fins same color, dorsal more or less 

 tinted with dusky, and caudal and anal with brownish. Iris pale 

 brassy-brown. 



Length 3| inches (caudal damaged). 



Type No. 13,928, W.I. A. P. Borneo. 1898. Dr. W. H. Furness. 



One example, the type. It agrees with Bleeker's description of 

 Capceta enoplos, but his figure^^ agrees with Sumatran examples of 

 Cyclocheilichthys siaja, which may be distinguished by the smaller eye, 

 always less than a third of the length of the head. In Cyclocheilichthys 

 megalops the eye is large, about 3 in the head, and the body is compp,ra- 

 tively deeper.
