52 CATALOGUE OF FISH. 



2-17 in. To the dorsal, 7-09 in. Length of the pectoral, 079 in. 

 Height close to the pectoral, 0-98 in. 

 Java {FiusseU, Leyden Museum). 



102. Anguilla Bleekeri, fig. 45. 

 Anguilla Bleekeri, Kaup. 



This resembles moica in the dentition, the breadth of the man- 

 dible, and origin of the dorsal over the anus ; but the head is 

 flatter, the jaws wider, and the eyes are placed still farther forwards ; 

 the pectorals also are notably shorter. The dorsal commences 

 0-157 in. before the anus. 



Dr. Bleeker says of his Anrjuilla sklat (No. 105) that it is dis- 

 tinguished from mowa by a higher body, and a specimen of Bleekeri 

 of equal length has a decidedly slimmer form than moiva. Sidat 

 resembles it in its short obtuse pectoral. 



M. Leschenault transmitted two specimens to the Garden of 

 Plants, omitting, however, to state whether they were from Java or 

 from India. 



Colour above, olive-green, with somewhat darker points. Anal 

 fin, yellowish. Under parts, and the outside of the pectoral, 

 whitish. The inner side of this fin is of the colour of the body, 

 and has dark points. 



Total length, 15-74 in. Length of tail, 8-86 in. To the eye, 

 0"39 in. To the corner of the mouth, 0-71 in. To the pectoral, 

 2-44 in. To the dorsal, 6-89 in. Height before the pectoral, 079 

 in. Height before the anus, 0-83 in. Length of the pectoral, 

 0-49 in. 



103. Anguilla Cantoei, fig. 46. 

 Anguilla Cantori, Kaup. 



In its dorsal fin, commencing over the anus, this eel resembles 

 the preceding species ; but it differs in having a longer snout, ex- 

 ceeding somewhat twice the diameter of the eye. The vomerine 

 teeth run farther back on the roof of the mouth than in most other 

 species ; but the breadth of the dental plates corresponds with that 

 of the preceding species. The dorsal commences exactly over the 

 anus. I have seen two specimens sent from Bombay by M. Dus- 

 sumier. They are blackish above ; lighter beneath. 



Total length, 2442 in. Length of tail, 14-18 in. To the eye, 

 0-51 in. To the corner of the mouth, 083 in. To the pectoral, 

 3*03 in. To the dorsal, 10-44 in. Length of the pectoral, 095 in. 

 Height close to the pectoral, 1-14 in. Height to the anus, 1-22 in. 

 Height in the middle of the tail, 1-38 in. 



104. Anguilla malabaeica, fig. 47. 

 Anguilla malabarica, Kaup. 



Eye small, and placed the length of its whole diameter before
