above operculum; two more farther back on this groove and 

 four on hind margin of preopercle; the entire body, except 

 lips, tip of snout, space between eyes and lips, and chin, covered 

 with scales; those on middle of sides, behind pectoral and back 

 to caudal ctenoid, and much larger than elsewhere; the remain- 

 der cycloid; scales extend upon the caudal fin but not on the 

 other fins; radiating downward from eye are a number of rows 

 of minute papillae, with very small scales between the posterior 

 ones. 



The color in alcohol yellowish brown, dusky on top of head 

 and pale on belly, with narrow, alternating, longitudinal light 

 and dark lines along sides; the posterior half of trunk 

 vaguely marked with broad dark crisscross bands; two blackish 

 rounded spots on base of caudal, one on upper, the other on 

 lower part; the dorsals, anal, and caudal more or less cross- 

 barred with alternate rows of dark and light spots; the other 

 fins faintly marked with dusky specks ; the pupils of eyes notice- 

 ably white. 



Here described from the type, No. 10577 Bureau of Science 

 collection, 86 millimeters long, and twelve cotypes, ranging in 

 length from 22 to 60 millimeters. They were collected in a 

 small fresh-water stream at Taytay, Palawan, by the Bureau 

 of Science expedition in May, 1913. The type is a female with 

 eggs, nearly ready for spawning. 



Albus, white; oculatus, having eyes, or "eyed."

PLATE 5, FIG. 1 



Dorsal VI, 1-9 ; anal I, 9 ; scales in lateral series, from opercle 

 to caudal, 60; scales in transverse series, from origin of second 

 dorsal to that of anal, 20 ; scales from first dorsal to tip of snout 

 42. 



The wedge-shaped body laterally compressed, with a broad, 

 flat caudal peduncle; the very large depressed head wider than 

 the trunk and contained from 2.4 to 2.7 times in the length; 

 the depth from 4.1 to 5 times in length, averaging about 4.6 

 times; the dorsal profile moderately convex, sloping anteriorly 

 almost in a straight line to interorbital space, then curving up 

 in a large hump on snout; the ventral profile nearly straight 

 (in the illustration a trifle too curved) ; the short snout is very 

 broad and rounded and equals the interorbital space; the eyes 

 rather prominent, very high up, and contained from 4.8 times 

 to, nearly 6 times in head, and equal to or 1.2 times in snout; 

 the mouth large, with a strongly projecting lower jaw; the
