122 GOBIES OF THE PHILIPPINES 



spots along the sides; the interorbital space and top of snout 

 dusky grayish brown; the pupils white; all the fins more or 

 less blackish or dusky; a transverse dusky bar often present 

 on base of caudal. 



Here described from the type, 62 millimeters long, and seven- 

 teen cotypes, 21 to 62 millimeters in length, from the creek at 

 Santa Fe, Nueva Vizcaya Province, Luzon, and twenty-eight 

 cotypes, 20 to 52 millimeters in length, from a creek at Dupax, 

 Nueva Vizcaya Province, Luzon. The largest Dupax specimen 

 has but 12 scales in a transverse row and 36 in a longitudinal 

 series; some of the others from Dupax also presented enough 

 differences to warrant considering them a separate species, but 

 every gradation between was also found. Most of the speci- 

 mens have from 40 to 42 scales in a longitudinal series. 



The Bureau of Science collection also contains ten specimens 

 from Santa Fe, 16 to 27 millimeters long. I also place here 

 a specimen, 62 millimeters long, from Santa Fe, which has 

 but six dorsal spines and has all the dorsal spines elongated; 

 the second dorsal and anal are also more elongate posteriorly 

 than in any of the other specimens. 



Since the above was written I have received some specimens 

 from barrio Diviguen, San Mariano, Isabela Province, and fifty 

 specimens from a creek on Mount Moises, Isabela Province. 

 This species evidently occurs throughout the Cagayan Valley. 



This species is very close to Tukugobius carpenteri (Scale), 

 differing in having seven instead of six spines in the first dorsal, 

 in having scales before the first dorsal, and in the more com- 

 plete scalation of the belly. 



Bucculentus, having full cheeks.

 Rhino ffobius carpenteri SBALB, Philip. Journ. Sci. A 4 (1909) 535. 



Kuchu, in Bontoc Igorot. 



Dorsal VI (rarely VII), 1-8 or 9; anal I, 8; there are 36 

 to 40, usually 38, scales in a longitudinal series and 14 in a trans- 

 verse series. 



The body low, plump, the dorsal and ventral profiles nearly 

 parallel, the depth 4.5 to 5 in length ; the large, broad, depressed 

 head 3 to 3.2 in length; the cheeks very full and rounded, the 

 width of head much more than that of body, 0.75 to 0.8 its 

 length, the depth | to f its width ; the convex, broadly rounded 

 snout 2.5 to 3 times in head; the obliquely set eyes very high
