2.14 times in head; the caudal round-pointed, badly damaged, 

 but evidently about 3.7 times in length; the pectoral longer 

 than caudal, round-pointed, 3.65 times in length and 1.2 times 

 in head ; the ventrals broadly pointed, scarcely reaching halfway 

 to origin of anal fin, less than depth and nearly 1.7 times in 

 head. 



The color in alcohol very pale brownish yellow, with about ten 

 irregular brown or dark brown crossbars over back, each di- 

 viding into two bars which extend down the sides vertically; 

 a large, blackish brown spot on opercle; a blackish brown bar 

 on basal part of caudal; two broad brown bars cross cheek, 

 one behind eye, one behind mouth; a large black blotch on up- 

 per part of first dorsal, from third to fifth spines inclusive, 

 the second dorsal faintly specked with brown, the caudal cross- 

 barred with brown; the other fins uniform pale brown or like 

 the body. 



Here described from the type specimen, 31 millimeters long, 

 No. 820 Bureau of Science collection, and a cotype, 33 milli- 

 meters long, No. 804 Bureau of Science collection, both collected 

 by W. D. Carpenter in July, 1907, at Malabon, Rizal Province. 

 The cotype is a female nearly ready to spawn, the body much 

 plumper therefore than in the type. 



Since writing the above I discovered in the Bureau of Science 

 collection two tiny specimens, 13.5 and 21 millimeters long, col- 

 lected at Sitankai in 1908, by Alvin Scale.
