66. Gymnothorax fimbriatus (Bennett). 



( Mancaophis stellatus LacepSde?; Gymnothorax isingleenoides Bleeker.) 

 One specimen from Takao, twelve and one-half inches long, agreeing in all 

 respects with Bleeker's description and figure (of young) of G. isingleenoides. The 

 specimen agrees very well also with examples from Samoa, recorded by Jordan & 

 Seale as G. stellatus (Lacepede) and with a single young specimen from Sumatra 

 received from Mr. H. W. Fowler. It may be that the name stellatus should stand 

 in place of fimbriatus. Mamma bullata Richardson, figured by Bleeker, seems to be 

 distinct. 



67. Gymnothorax flavomarginatus (Ruppell). 



One specimen from Takao twenty-two inches long. 



68. Gymnothorax pseudothyrsoideus (Bleeker). (Perhaps not of Day.) 



A. large specimen two feet in length from Takao, appears to agree in all essential 

 respects with Bleeker's figure and description. The dorsal begins half way between 

 the gill-opening and the back of the orbit ; the ground color is rather dark brown, 

 finely reticulated, or marbled everywhere with lighter, and is scarcely paler on the 

 chin and the belly than on the upper parts ; there is no black about the gill-opening, 

 and no light border to the fins except at the tip of the tail. The species is near
