FISHES OF THE ISLANDS OF LUZON AND PANAY. 



Bv DAVID STARR JORDAN and ALVIN SEALE. 



In the sinnnier of 1900, in connection with the investigations in Japan by 

 Professors Jordan and Snyder, a very considerable collection of fishes was made 

 at Manila and Cavite, on the island of Luzon, and about Iloilo, on the island of Panay, 

 in the Philippine Islands, by Dr. George A. Lung, surgeon in the United States 

 J^avy. This collection is the property of Stanford University, but a series of 

 specimens has been presented to the U. S. Bureau of Fisheries and to the U. S. 

 National Museum. The specimens in question are in excellent condition, and 

 the large number of species obtained shows the faithful work of Dr. Lung as 

 collector. ' 



The following are the new species in the collection, with the numbers borne 

 by the types and cotypes in the Stanford University and U. S. National museums. 

 In cases where specimens are registered in both institutions the first number given 

 is that of Stanfortl University, the second that of the National Museum. Where 

 only one number is given, the Stanford University collection is referred to.
