The specimens, except those from Siboga, which were col- 

 lected by Mr. ED. JACOBSON, after whom we have taken the 

 pleasure to name this species, were first described by one of us as 

 R. daniconius. Our diagnosis shows that it differs from that of 

 the indian species, which is known, for instance, by the des- 

 cription of GtiNTHER as R. daniconius. For differences see 

 under R. einthoveni.

Height 3.7 3.9, 4.6 5 in length with caudal. Head 3.6 4, 

 about 5 in length with caudal. Eye about 3*/ 2 to almost 4, 

 equal to or somewhat shorter than snout and nearly i ! / 2 times 

 in the flat interorbital space. Cleft of mouth strongly ascending, 

 its anterior end about in the level of the upper border of the 

 pupil, posteriorly reaching frontborder of eye or nearly so. 

 Origin of dorsal in the middle between snout and posterior 

 row of caudal scales or farther behind, opposite to nth lateral 

 scale or one scale less or more. Generally 12 scales in front 

 of it. Dorsal slightly convex, situated about in the middle 

 between ventrals and anal, its height less than that of body. 

 Anal concave, third ray the longest, its height less than that 

 of dorsal. Ventrals generally not reaching anal, situated one 

 eye-diameter, or somewhat less, nearer to anal than to operculum. 

 Pectorals shorter than head, their end far distant from ven- 

 trals. Caudal about equal to head, the longest rays a little 

 less than twice the shortest rays. Least height of caudal peduncle 

 i ! / 2 to twice in its length to the hindermost row of scales, 

 seven rows of scales between the lateral lines counted over 

 the back in the middle of the caudal peduncle. Gillrakers 12. 

 Colour of upper half brownish, of lower half yellowish, both 

 separated by a black band faintly beginning behind opercle, 

 increasing, also in intensity, below dorsal, its end before caudal
