PHILIPPINE MACROUROID FISHES—GILBERT AND HUBBS. 391 
bone, along its posterior half, even along the posterior flap, is almost 
straight. The branchial aperture extends forward to below the 
middle of the eye, where the gill-membranes form a narrow fold 
across the isthmus. 
The scales are in two series along the mandible. 
Thirty-five pyloric caeca were counted in one specimen; they are 
very short, being only two-fifths as long as the orbit. 
The parietal peritoneum is black. 
The three most anterior gill-rakers are unusually small, and were 
not included in the count in the type-description: there are 6-+18 
or 19 in the type-specimen, instead of 5-+-16, as given by Radcliffe.

1 A small pseudocaudal developed. 2 The smallest specimen procured. 
(sulcatus, furrowed.) 
Genus GADOMUS Regan. 
This group, as recently defined by us,! contains about 10 species 
which have been greatly confused. The seven described species are 
probably all valid, and they appear to follow the species of Bathy- 
gadus and other Macrouroid genera in their localized distribution. 
The western Atlantic species, G. longifilis, has been recorded from the 
eastern Atlantic by Vaillant? and Collett,* but the descriptions
