art.2. FORMOSA AND PHILIPPINES FISHES—FOWLER AND BEAN. 15 
or minute dots. Predorsal with two parallel dusky lines, close set, 
formed of dusky dots. Median lateral line of dusky from shoulder 
to caudal base medianly. No silvery lateral band. Iris slaty gray. 
Fins all pale brownish. 
Length, 45 mm. (ends damaged). 
One from Zamboanga. 
Among the examples of Philippine fishes studied in the Commer- 
cial Museum of Philadelphia were several specimens of this species 
which we have not since located. Of this lot, nine examples pre- 
sented to the Academy were listed as Dermatogenys viviparus 
(Peters).7. This is wrong, and we find them to be Hyporhamphus 
neglectus. They agree with an example from Sumatra, though 
all are a little smaller, besides in very poor preservation. Likely all 
may eventually be united with Hyporhamphus unijasciatus (Ran- 
zani) as contended by Gunther and Bleeker. 
Hemiramphus viviparus Peters,’ judging from its description, ap- 
pears inseparable from Dermogenys pusillus Kuhl and Van Hasselt. 
RHAMPHODERMOGENYS, new subgenus. 
Type.—Dermogenys bakeri, new species. 
Distinguished from subgenus Dermogenys Van Hasselt by its long 
upper jaw and advanced ventrals. 
One species. 
Both Hemiramphus brachijnotopterus Bleeker ® and Hemiramphus 
sumatranus Bleeker ?° appear to belong to the subgenus Dermogenys. 
(Papgos, snout; Dermogenys.) 
DERMOGENYS BAKERI, new species. 
Head from upper jaw tip, 34; depth, 64; D. 1, 8; A. 1m, 13; P. 1, 
10; V. 1, 5; scales from gill-opening at shoulder 39 to caudal base; 
4 scales above lateral line to dorsal origin, and 5 below to anal 
origin; 33? predorsal scales to head; snout, 24 in head as measured 
from its own tip; eye, 44; maxillary, 24; interorbital, 32; first 
branched dorsal ray, 23; second simple anal ray, 13; least depth of

tral, 24. 
Body moderate, strongly compressed, or back broad and flattened 
sides well converging below. Caudal peduncle about as long as deep. 
Head well compressed, sides flattened and narrowly converging 
below; width, 24 in its length from upper jaw tip. Upper jaw de- 
pressed, lanceolate, width 12 in its length. Eye large, slightly im-
