NO. 1919. FTSHES FROM JAVA— BEAN AND WEED. 593 



CARASSIUS AURATUS (Linnaeus). 



One small s])ccmien, 35 mm. long. Buitenzorg. 



CoUectod by D. G. FaircliUd. 



Described by Bleeker under many subspecific names but not figured.* 



BARBODES MACULATUS' (van Hasselt). 



Eight s])ocimcns, 25 to 70 mm. long. Buitenzorg. 



All difliT from the description in having two instead of three scales 

 between the lateral line and the base of the ventral fins. In this they 

 agree with the form described as B. goniosoma, which is probably a 

 synonym of B. maculatus. The number of scales ])etween the lateral 

 line and the ventral fins seems to be the only salient character, and 

 this is not constant. 



One larger specimen, 110 mm. long, has the lateral line still lower, 

 so that the lower one of the two scales between it and the ventral is 

 quite small. 



The native name of all but the largest is given as "Bem-ter," of the 

 largest "Erer-gees." 



HAMPALA MACROLEPIDOTA ' (Kuhl and van Hasselt). 



One specimen, 150 mm. long. Buitenzorg. 

 The native name is given as "Ham-pal." 



CAP(ETA LEIACANTHUS< (Bleeker). 



One small specimen, 25 mm. long. Buitenzorg. 

 The native name is given as "Susik-melik." 



LEPIDOCEPHALICHTHYS HASSELTH^ (Cuvler and Valenciennes). 



Four specimens, 40 to 50 mm. long. Buitenzorg. 



Also one specimen collected by D. G. Fairchild at Buitenzorg. 



NEMACHEILUS FASCIATUS' (Kuhl and van Hasselt). 



Four specimens, 55 to 65 mm. long. Buitenzorg. 



HEXANEMATICHTHYS SUNDAICUS' (Cuvier and Valenciennes). 



Seven specimens, 110 to 200 mm. long. Batavia (4) and Pelaboean 

 Ratoe (3). 



Show no trace of the whitish cross stripes shown in the figure, but 

 otherwise seem to correspond quite closely with figure and descrip- 

 tion. The specimens from Pelaboean Ratoe show some difference in 

 the armature and shape of the head. 



Native name, Pelaboean Ratoe, "Ka-du-kang." 



NETUMA THALASSINA8 (RUppell).
