FISHES OF THE PHILIPPINE ISLANDS. 71 



Our specimens agree perfectly with Bleeker's figure of tliis species, but differ from Gilntlier's description 

 in tlie shorter second anal spine. They seem to differ from A', mjena (Riippell) in the lower curve of the dorsal 

 outline and the absence of dark lateral lines along the rows of scales.

Nine specimens from Bulan (no. 3971; length 2.5 to 3.2 in.), and one from Bacon (no. 3758: length 1.85

One specimen from Bulan (no. 3594; length 3.75 in.). Head 2.9 in length: depth 1.2; e_ye 2.6 in head; 

 snout 5.2. Color in spirits dusky silvery, a black band from nape through eye to lower edge of gill-opening

89. Amia frsenata (Valenciennes). 



One specimen from Bacon (no. 376ti; length 3.75 in.). (Not A.frenatus of Giinther-.) 



Head 2.5 in length; depth 3.18; snout 4; eye very large, Ipnger than snout, 3.1 in head; side with a ' 



well-defined black band about width of pupil, extending through eye and across tip of snout, where it is most 



distinct; a distinct black spot on caudal peduncle at base of caudal fin; a black bar on base of anal: anterior 



dorsal spines black. 



From Amia snyderi this species seems to difl'er in the larger eye, more slender body, and better delined 



black caudal spot and lateral band. The two may, however, be identical.
