Famliy KYPHOSIDA. 
KYPHOSUS Lacépede. 
145. Kyphosus cinerascens (Forskal). (Pimelepterus tahmel of Giinther.) 
One example, 6 inches long, from Calayan. This species is known by its high soft dorsal, with 12 
rays, and the numerous brown longitudinal stripes on the body. As pointed out by Doctor Day, it 
seems that the name cinerascens should replace that of tahmel, used by Doctor Ginther. Forskal’s 
Scixna cinerascens, tahmel, seems to be a parallel of his Sciexna ? armata, galem fish. In both these cases 
the second word is evidently the intended specific name and should so stand. 
Family GERRIDA. 
XYSTAMA Jordan & Evermann, 
146. Xystzema punctatum (Cuvier & Valenciennes): 
One example, 3.50 inches long, from Calayan; one from Aparri, 3 inches; and one from Iloilo, 2.25 
inches. 
147. Xystzema kapas (Bleeker). 
One specimen, 3 inches long, from Cuyo. Depth 2.8; head 3; second anal spine stronger but shorter 
than third; scales 40; color plain silvery, spinous dorsal tipped with dusky. 
This specimen does not appear to differ, except in the smaller number of scales, from the specimens 
from Apia, Samoa, recorded as Yystama argyreum by Jordan & Seale. 
Family MULLID. 
UPENEUS Bleeker. 
148. Upeneus chryseredros (Lacépéde). Timbungan; Ubacan. 
Two specimens, 4 and 6.50 inches long, from Cagayancillo. In life (large specimen) white below; a 
bluish wash above; a rosy wash on opercle, preopercle, and tail; a yellow saddle behind second dorsal; 
several lines of dark yellow and lavender from snout through eye, and a number of lines radiating from 
upper side of eye; rays of first dorsal lavender, membranes yellow; second dorsal irregularly striped with 
lemon yellow and lavender; anal like second dorsal; pectorals and ventrals clear. The smaller speci- 
men was lemon all over in life, darker above and a little paler below, brighter on fins. Under the rules 
of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature, the type of Upeneus is Upeneus bifasciatus, not 
U. vittatus. (See Jordan & Evermann, Fishes North and Middle America, I, p. 857.) 
149. Upeneus barberinus (Lacépéde). Amacan. 
One specimen 5 inches long and one 2.50 inches, from Cuyo. General color in life silvery; dark 
brown next to dorsal, below which is a wide golden stripe from eye, fading out below posterior end of 
dorsal; below the golden stripe a short black stripe which is just below lateral line; lower half of head 
silvery, washed with crimson; alarge black spot on caudal peduncle; lower part of sides and all fins faintly 
washed with crimson. 
UPENEOIDES Bleeker. 
150. Upeneoides sulphureus (Cuvier & Valenciennes). 
Three specimens from Manila, 3 to 4:50 inches long. Color in life dusky blue above, a rosy wash on 
head; sides silvery, with two lines of chrome yellow, one from head, the other from pectoral to caudal; a 
band of pale sulphur yellow from base of ventral to end of anal and including these fins; several longitu- 
dinal lines of white and dark brown on dorsal; caudal dusky, edged with brown. 
151. Upeneoides vittatus (Forskal). 
Two specimens, 3.50 and 4.50 inches long, from Lubang, and one from Iloilo, 3 inches. 
152. Upeneoides tragula (Richardson). 
Three examples, 4.50, 2.50, and 3.75 inches long, from Cuyo. 
153. Upeneoides luzonius (Jordan & Seale). 
A specimen 4.50 inches long from Manila agrees with the cotypes of this species. We are not certain 
that it is different from Upeneoides tragula, from which it appears to differ in coloration though apparently 
in no other characters. Our specimen has no dark marking on either dorsal fin.
