1 Each of the three subspecies of distinct distribution. 
It is thus apparent that the Macrouroid fauna most nearly related 
to that of the East Indies and the Philippine Islands is the fauna 
of Japan, which is probably largely derived from the southward." 
These two faunas contain the largest number of species common to 
both, and they contain the largest number of geminate species; but 
this is not the only reason for considering them more closely related 
to each other than either is to any other known fauna. As corrobo- 
rative evidence we may note that the Coelorhynchus notatus group 
of species from the Philippines and East Indies finds its only close 
relatives in C. jordani and C’. kishinouwyei of Japan, and that the re- 
markable subfamily Macrouroidinae is represented by but two 
species: Macrouroides inflaticeps of eastern Luzon and Squalogadus 
modificatus of Japan. In addition to Macrouroides and Squaloga- 
dus, there is but one genus not common to both regions, no repre- 
sentative of Mataeocephalus being yet known from Japan. 
2. ANALYSIS OF THE EAST INDIAN-PHILIPPINE FAUNA. 
ae 
The fauna of Macrouroid fishes in the East Indian and Philippine 
Islands has been compared with the faunas of other regions, and 
found to resemble that of Japan most closely. In order to determine 
the subdivisions of the fauna of the Philippines a distributional 
1 Excluding, of course, the three subarctic species reaching northern Japan (Coryphae- 
noides pectoralis, C. acrolepis, and OC. cinereus).
