riSHES OF THE PHILIPPINE ISLANDS AND ADJACENT SEAS 167 



Brown above, whitish on under surface. Indistinct pale longi- 

 tudinal band, imperfectly defined or diffuse, along sides of body 

 medianly from above pectoral until above ventrals. Fins all more 

 or less brownish terminally, and on lower surfaces of paired ones 

 grayish. Ends of dorsals, pectorals, and subcaudal dusky to black- 

 ish. Whitish of lower surface of head extends up to include eye or 

 till level with its upper edge and narrowly all around snout margin. 



Singapore, East Indies, Philippines. This species seems to differ 

 from Eulamia dussmniei'l chiefly in the pale lateral band on the 

 flanks, slightly longer caudal, which nearly to almost equals space 

 between origins of two dorsal fins. In my specimens the pectorals 

 do not reach beyond the end of the first dorsal, as claimed b}' Gar- 

 man. Also my examples show the anal a little larger than the second 

 dorsal. Its body is deep and plump.
