PISHES OF THE PHILIPPINE ISLANDS AND ADJACENT SEAS 163 



Scales minute, quindentate, and with 4 or 5 keels. 



First dorsal origin opposite hind inner angle of depressed pec- 

 toral fin ; front edge 1% to 1% in head ; second dorsal origin opposite 

 that of anal, front edge 3% to 4-/3 in head; anal origin nearer sub- 

 caudal origin than that of ventral, front edge 31/5 to 3l^ in head; 

 front subcaudal edge 1% to 1%, 1% to 1% in its own length; least 

 depth of caudal peduncle a-*,^ to GVs in head; pectoral V/^ to 11/5, 

 width 2 to 2ls in its length: ventral length 2^8 to 3 hi head; claspers 

 narrow, short, pointed, not reaching hind ventral ends. 



Brown above, whitisli below. Dorsals and caudal like back, also 

 anal and upper surfaces of paired fins. Lower terminal portions of 

 pectorals blackish, of ventrals brownish. Outer half of subcaudal 

 lobe dusky brown. 



Red Sea, Arabia, India, Singapore, East Indies, Indo China, Phil- 

 ippines, Australia. Lord Hovre Island. Also at Panama. Allied 

 with Eidamiu spallanzani^ E. diissumieri and E. pleurotaema in the 

 second dorsal and anal subequal and their origins opposed. I feel 

 my examples are the present species, rather than E. spallamwm 

 though Garman gives for tlie latter "pectorals twice as long as wide'' 

 and for E. dussuinieri "pectorals less than twice as long as broad.'' 

 Miiller and Henle also show for the latter the pectoral width 1% its 

 length and Day's figure shows its Vv-idth half its length. Po.ssibly 

 Sguahis HpaUanzani Lesueur may be tlie present species.
