lip, lower jaw prominent with projecting and nearly vertical 

 chin, posterior angle of maxillary concealed but considerably in 

 front of a vertical from anterior margin of eye; the upper jaw 

 has an outer row of enlarged teeth, followed by two or three 

 rows of fine teeth ; the lower jaw has an outer row of larger teeth 

 and two inner rows of very small teeth ; there are five perpendic- 

 ular and two longitudinal ridges or folds on cheek, several 

 short diagonal ridges and a long vertical one on opercle, and 

 a row of about a dozen beneath chin and along underside of 

 subopercle; on top of snout are several very short ridges and 

 behind each eye a transverse and two longitudinal ridges; in 

 front of and behind each eye and anteriorly and posteriorly on 

 interorbital are large pores with tumid, projecting, almost tubu- 

 late lips; three pores on the supraopercular groove and three 

 on the posterior margin of preopercle; the body covered every- 

 where with cycloid scales, except on sides and on top of the 

 back as far as posterior margin of preopercle ; the middle spines 

 of first dorsal longest, a trifle greater than the depth; the first 

 dorsal well in advance of second, barely reaching origin of 

 second dorsal when depressed; the second dorsal higher than 

 first, the next to the last ray longest, about 1.1 or 1.2 in head, 

 and about 1.4 times depth, the longest rays extending to caudal 

 when depressed ; the anal base much shorter than second dorsal, 

 its posterior rays longest and equal to or a little less in height 

 than second dorsal, not reaching caudal when depressed; the 

 caudal peduncle little constricted, its depth over 0.8 that of 

 body, and | of its own length on dorsal side or 0.625 on ventral 

 side; the broad, rounded pectoral equals head in length; the 

 length of the wide short ventrals equals the height of anal; 

 they fall far short of reaching anus, covering but 0.6 of the 

 distance; the anal papilla in males elongated, slender, and 

 pointed; in females very short, thick, and rounded. 



The color in alcohol uniform chocolate brown, the fins con- 

 colorous or darker; the first dorsal mottled with darker; the 

 base of pectoral rays very dark brown with some small obscure 

 pale spots. 



Here described from a male specimen, 52 millimeters long, 

 and a female, 40.5 millimeters long, collected near Saub on the 

 south coast of Cotabato Province, Mindanao. 



I have just received from F. Reveche, of San Jose, Antique 

 Province, Panay, two fine male specimens, each 44 millimeters 

 in length; the median region before the dorsal is mostly naked,
