PHILIPPINE MACROUROID FISHES—GILBERT AND HUBBS. 559 
66. LIONURUS VITTATUS (Weber). 
Macrurus vittatus Wrprer, Fische der Siboga-Expedition, p. 157, pl. 1, fig. 5. 
This species, the most strikingly marked of any in the genus, was 
not obtained by the Albatross. 
67. LIONURUS RICHARDI (Weber). 
Macrurus richardi Wrper, Fische der Siboga-Expedition, p. 154, pl. 1, figs. 
3 and 3a. 
This species is a close ally of L. pumiliceps and of L. decimals, dit- 
fering from them in the small number (8) of rays in the ventral fins. 
No specimens were dredged by the A/batross. 
68. LIONURUS PUMILICEPS (Alcock). 
Macrurus pumiliceps Atcock, Journ. Asiat. Soc. Bengal, vol. 68, pt. 2, 
1894, pp. 125, 127; Illustrations of the Zoology of the Investigator, Fishes, 
pt. 3, pl. 16, fig. 3; Descrip. Cat. Ind. Deep-sea Fishes Indian Museum, 
1899, p. 1138. 
This species is one of that group of Lionurus in which the whole 
ventral region of the head and trunk has migrated forward from its 
normal position, the snout is blunt in profile, and projects but little 
beyond the mouth; the gill-membranes are united below the orbit; 
the ventral fins are inserted below the middle of opercle; the anus 
lies before the vertical from the origin of the first dorsal, and is 
followed by the anal fin after an interval unusually short for a 
species of the Lionurus type of genera. 
The reference of our material to the Indian L. pumliceps is made 
without comparison of specimens. No differences of importance are 
apparent between our material and Alcock’s descriptions, which, 
however, are not sufficiently complete to render the identification en- 
tirely certain. 
We present a short description of our specimens, which were ob- 
tained at the following stations:
