range through the Philippines northward to Southern Japan. Its westerly 

 limit has already been stated, but it may be mentioned that Steindachner's 

 specimen came from Socotra. 



Dimensions: — On the Indian Coast Day reports it as being "a small 

 species attaining six or seven inches in length," and adds that " it arrives in 

 Madras about October." Bleeker's largest specimen was under eight inches 

 (195 millim), but on our coast it grows to at least 245 millim. 



Remarks: — Our two specimens agree perfectly with Bleeker's description 

 and, therefore, omitting his faulty dentition, with Gunther's. There are, however, 

 some discrepancies between Day's description and ours, chiefly with regard to 

 the proportional size of various parts of the head ; for instance, the depth of the 

 head is said by him to be "four fifths of its length," while in both of ours it is, 

 excluding the throat, exactly, two thirds of its length ; again the eye is smaller 

 in proportion to the head in his specimens than in ours, although the latter are 

 the larger fishes, a reversal of normal conditions, nevertheless it is said to be as 

 long as the snout. McCulloch has, however, kindly compared our Damley 

 Island specimen with an Endeavour fish from Bustard Bay, and with Indian 

 specimens in the Australian Museum, and writes that " the only difference 

 appears to be in the dorsal and anal fins, the Australian specimens having two 

 more rays in each than the Indian ones." Caranx eccUpsifer de Vis is certainly 

 this fish, but, as is too often the case with that writer's specimens, the type is 

 missing. 



Illustration: — Our figure is taken from the Darnley Island specimen 

 mentioned above. Reg No. in the Queensland Museum, I. 13/998.
