ADDENDUM 343 



Color jn alcohol dark chocolate brown, with bases of scales 

 dusky to blackish and paler spots, producing a mottled appear- 

 ance; fins all blackish or dusky brown, barred or spotted with 

 whitish ; cutaneous areas on head dark. Length 50 millimeters. 

 Type, No. 47549, A. N. S. P., from Philippine Islands. 



The above description is taken from Fowler, as I have seen 

 nothing like this fish. Fowler created a new subgenus, Ulcigo- 

 bius, based on the higher spinous dorsal, the larger scales, and 

 the very conspicuous pores on the sides of the head. He says 

 nothing in his specific description of the pores, and the figure 

 shows none. He says "head scaly," but the figure has the 

 opercles and cheeks naked.
