PHILIPPINE MACROUROID FISHES GILBERT AND HUBBS. 503 



C. radcliffei is apparently related, on the one hand, to G. smithi 

 and flabellispinis, and, on the other hand, to productus, anatvrostris, 

 and weberi. In addition to the characters given in the key, radcliffei 

 differs from productus and weberi in the naked nasal fossa. Its 

 relationships with commutabilis are more remote.

38. COELORHYNCHUS WEBERI, new species 



Coelorhynchus commutabilis form eta Smith and Radcliffe, Proc. U. S. Nat. 

 Mus., vol. 43, 1912, p. 132, text figure 7 (including only the type-speci- 

 men, which is figured; the two other specimens are typical of C. com- 

 mutabilis, the scales having been lost from underside of head). 



Type-specimen. — Cat. No. 78225 U.S.N.M. ; from Albatross sta- 

 tion 5325, off northern Luzon, at a depth of 224 fathoms and a bot- 

 tom temperature of 53.2° F. ; length, 315 mm. to end of pseudo- 

 caudal of 8 rays, 127 mm. to anus. 



Fin-rays — first dorsal, II, 8 ; pectorals, 18, ventrals, 7. 



The contours of the body are long, even curves; the base of the 

 first dorsal is scarcely oblique. The greatest depth of the head is 

 equal to its width ; the greatest depth of the body is contained about 

 2.3 times in the length of the head to the opercular angle ; the greatest 

 width, scarcely less, is contained 2.4 times in head; the tail is less 

 strongly compressed than usual, its width being contained just 

 twice in its depth at a point twice the head length behind tip of snout. 

 The form of the head is well shown in figure 25, except that the pos- 

 terior sides of the head are drawn as somewhat distended. The snout
