FISHES OF THE PHILIPPINES. 243 
41. Tylosurus leiurus Bleeker. 
Depth 12 in body without head and snout; eye in postorbital part of head 2.70; dorsal 18; anal 24; 
dorsal inserted over seventh ray of anal; breadth of body .66 its depth; no caudal keel. 
One specimen from Aparri, about 15 inches long. 
HEMIRAMPHUS Cuvier. 
42. Hemiramphus marginatus (Forskil). Buging. 
One example from Manila, 9 inches long. 
43. Hemiramphus limbatus Cuvier & Valenciennes. 
A specimen, 4 inches long, from Cuyo. Scales 53; head 2.70; lower jaw, beyond tip of upper, 5.50; 
ventrals inserted considerably nearer base of caudal than eye. In life silvery; a light green median 
line on side; top of head bright blue and green; beak with a small red tip. 
44. Hemiramphus neglectus Bleeker. 
A specimen, 4.50 inches long, from Aparri, agrees with Bleeker’s description and figure of this 
species. It has scales 51; head 2.70; lower jaw, beyond tip of upper, 5.75; ventrals equidistant 
between base of caudal and front of pupil; teeth tricuspid; each side with a narrow silvery band, about 
as wide as a scale. 
Doctor Giinther considers this species to be identical with H. wnifasciatus from the tropical Atlantic. 
Family EXOC(ETIDA. 
PAREXOCCTUS Bleeker. 
45. Parexocetus mento (Cuvier & Valenciennes). 
Depth 4.60; head 3.75; eye 2.60 in head; dorsal 10; anal 11; pectoral half of total length without 
caudal. Color in life: Lower half silvery white; deep blue black above, changing to deep blue on 
upper part of sides, the color of which is sharply separated from the lower silvery color; pectoral white, 
finely speckled with dusky; dorsal dusky at tip. 
Five specimens from Manila, 4 inches long. 
CYPSELURUS Swainson. 
46. Cypselurus spilonopterus (Bleeker). 
Depth 5; head 4.40; eye 3; dorsal 12; anal 9; pectoral reaching beyond middle of anal. 
A single specimen, 6 inches long, taken at sea off the west coast of Negros. 
Family ATHERINIDA. 
ATHERINA Linnezus. 
47. Atherina (?) lacunosa Forster. 
A specimen, 2.75 inches long, from oilo has the head 3.75; depth 4.3; eye 2.25; snout 4; inter- 
orbital 2.75; maxillary 2.30; dorsal v-1, 9; anal 13; scales 38-6; origin of spinous dorsal slightly nearer 
anal than base of ventrals; vent a pupil’s length in front of tips of ventrals; in spirits straw-colored, 
with a silvery side stripe as wide as pupil; no trace of dusky color on pectorals. 
This specimen seems to have the depth slightly greater and the scales fewer than the specimens 
recently recorded under this name by Evermann & Seale. We do not think it likely that the two are 
different. Weare by no means certain of the identity of Forster’s A.lacunosa. It is probable that the 
name lacunosa should replace pinguis, applied by Lacépéde to specimens with a black-tipped pectoral. 
In such a case a new name would need to be supplied for the specimens from the Philippines. We 
have a specimen of an Atherina (labeled lacunosa) from Sydney, Australia, collected by Dr. D. H. 
Campbell, which corresponds well with the description of Atherina pinguis. It has the depth 4.6, 
seales 42, and a distinctly black-tipped pectoral. It is evidently distinct from our specimens from the 
Philippines and is with little doubt the A. pinguis of Lacépéde. 
48. Atherina panatela Jordan & Richardson, new species. 
Head 4.25; depth 6.8; greatest width nearly equal to greatest depth, the body being subcylindrical, 
but the back broader and flatter than the belly; head as wide as deep; eye 3.1; snout 3.75; interorbital 
space equal to eye, flat; maxillary equal to nose, its tip under anterior margin of orbit; gillrakers 23
