Twelve examples. Panabutan Bay, Mindanao. February 5, 1908. Length, 



28 to 38 mm. 



Ten examples. Port Bais Anchorage, East Luzon. March 31, 1908. Length, 



29 to 35 mm. 



Nineteen examples. D. 5561. Teomabal Island (NW.), S. 36°, \Y. 0.2 mile 

 (lat. 5° 50' 45" N., long. 121° 01' 15" E.). September 19, 1909. Length, 

 26 to 56 mm. These, as well as the above small examples, are all largely 

 scaleless, silvery, and difficult of determination. They seem to me most likelj' 

 the young of the present species. Most all have some traces of 2 dark blotches

 this they approach Day's figure.

 above, appearing somewhat as blotches on side of head; belly white. Barbels 

 bright yellow. Second dorsal and upper caudal lobe with oblique red bars 

 on pale ground; lower caudal lobe red with pale margin. Anal white. Paired
