FISHES OF THE PHILIPPINE ISLANDS AND ADJACENT SEAS 691 



D. in, 10, 1 or iii, 11, i, procumbent spine before origin, first branch- 

 ed ray 1^4 to 11/5 ? in head ; A. ni, 53, i to in, 57, i, origin opposite 

 dorsal origin, first branched ray 1% to 1%; least depth of caudal 

 peduncle 2% to 2%; ventral 2i/4 to 2%; caudal 4% to 5 in rest of 

 body; pectoral SVs to 4, ends in filament nearly or quite reaching 

 anal. 



Back drab gray, sides and below, also iris, silvery white. Fins 

 pale, lower ones little more brownish. 



India, Burma, Malay Peninsula, Pinang, East Indies, China, 

 Korea. There is little to contend for Setipinna gilberti as it readily 

 agrees with my Hong Kong example. Jordan and Starks say it is 

 more slender than either Setipinna nielanocMr or Setipinna taty, and 

 though they give the depth as 2>% their figure clearly shows it 3%. 

 Its anal rays given as 57 are hardly not beyond the range of variation 

 as Weber and Beaufort give 51 to 56. There is nothing in the figure 

 of Setipinna gilberti to maintain it as distinct from Setipinna taty.
