PHILIPPINE MACROUROID FISHES—GILBERT AND HUBBS. 511 
dusky; the outer ventral ray is dark or whitish. The buccal and 
branchial cavities are wholly lined with bluish black, except along 
the narrow margin of the opercular and branchiostegal membranes; 
the parietal peritoneum is brownish black. 
Although certain rather wide variations are apparent, we have 
little doubt as to the unity of this species as we now define it.
