BY 



Dr. C. L. REUVENS. 



Among the zoological collections, made by Dr. H. ten 

 Kate during his travels in the Malay Archipelago , which 

 are now preserved in the Leyden Museum, are many fishes 

 caught in fresh and brackish water. As it is a rare fact 

 to become fishes from the above mentioned islands , I ven- 

 ture to give an enumeration of the different species ; so 

 this list will especially be a contribution to the knowledge 

 of the geographical distribution of fishes in the East Indian 

 Archipelago. 



The total number of fishes collected is 133, that of the 

 species 15.
