(5Q GOBIES OF THE PHILIPPINES 



angle of maxillary extends to a point beneath pupil; four rows 

 of teeth in upper jaw, those of outer row enlarged; the four 

 central teeth of inner row are much enlarged and point back- 

 ward; the outer row long, inner row short; the lower jaw has 

 four rows of teeth anteriorly, but only one or two rows pos- 

 teriorly; the teeth of outer row enlarged; those of inner row 

 also enlarged, the posterior ones being like stout pointed canines ; 

 as in related forms, the anterior nostril is tubulate but the 

 posterior one is entirely open; a large pore on inner side of 

 each nostril, one above and one behind eye, four on rear margin 

 of preopercle, and three above operculum on the groove running 

 from eye to top of gill opening; the entire body except lips, tip 

 of snout, and chin covered with cycloid scales, which also extend 

 upon pectoral and caudal fins; the fins all rather short, and 

 none have elongated or filamentous tips. 



The color in alcohol brown, with darker diagonal and angled 

 crossbars on sides; each scale on side has an obscure pale spot, 

 the spots together forming definite longitudinal lines; second 

 dorsal has four rows of darker spots ; the other fins are uniform 

 brown. 



Here described from the type, No. 11468 Bureau of Science 

 collection, 76 millimeters long, and five cotypes, ranging in length 

 from 65 to 144 millimeters. They were collected by Prof. A. L. 

 Day, formerly of the department of zoology of the University of 

 the Philippines, but he was unable to give me the exact locality 

 where they were obtained. 



I also refer here sixteen specimens, one of them 46 millimeters 

 in length, the others all very much smaller, down to 16 milli- 

 meters in length. They were caught in Lake Manguao, May 

 23, 1913, by A. L. Day, and it is very likely that the type speci- 

 mens were obtained by him at the same time and place. 



This strongly marked species is easily separated from other 

 Philippine eleotrids. The larger specimens were only half 

 covered with alcohol when they came into my possession, so 

 that they are black from oxidation and are in poor condition; 

 but their characters are so well differentiated that they cannot 

 be placed with anything else in the collection or in the literature. 



Expatria, without a country, or homeless, in reference to 

 their unknown origin.
