FISHES FROM ISLANDS OF THE PHILIPPINE ARCHIPELAGO. 
By DAVID STARR JORDAN anp ROBERT EARL RICHARDSON, 
In 1906 Mr. Richard Crittenden McGregor, a naturalist employed by the govern- 
ment of the Philippine Islands, brought to Stanford University a large collection 
of fishes made by him in outlying islands of the Philippine group. He was unable 
to work up this collection himself, as he had intended to do, and it was presented by 
him to the Museum of Stanford University. In the present paper is given an account 
of the species thus obtained. A series of these specimens has been presented 
through the Bureau of Fisheries to the United States National Museum. The locali- 
ties represented in the collection are the islands of Calayan, Ticao, Lubang, Mindoro, 
Sibuyan, Romblon, and Cuyo; Aparri, Cagayancillo, and Manila, on the island of 
Luzon, and Iloilo, on the island of Mindanao. 
The following species are thought to be new to science. The numbers in 
parentheses apply to the type specimens in Stanford University Museum. 
Pisoodonophis macgregori (20210). | Doryrhamphus macgregori (20202). 
Leiuranus lithinus (20211). Hippocampus barbouri (20205).

The notes on life colors and the vernacular names are given on the authority of 
Mr. McGregor.
