smaller specimens; the transverse dark bands on the body and 
blotches along the median fins are faintly marked. The paddles of 
the ventral fins are tipped with blackish brown, and were edged with 
violet in the fresh specimen ; the general colour of which was a faint 
pink, with yellowish tinge along the basal half of the dorsal and anal 
fins. The abdominal cone is bright silvery; it has no trace of a hind 
marginal membrane. The caudal is subtruncate; and, lastly, the 
cylindrical hyaline warts on the nape are very prominent and distinct. 
I believe that Zretmophorus belongs to the Gap1p& and approaches 
that section to which Haloporphyrus and Physiculus belong. I am, 
however, inclined to think that its nearest ally may be the strange 
pelagic Gadoid described a few years ago (‘ Naturalista Siciliano,’ iii. 
pl. 2) by my friend Dr. L. Facciola, from a single specimen got also at 
Messina, and named Hypsirhynchus hepaticus, Facc. Later two more 
specimens were got at Naples, and I have one. Hypsirhynchus, 
which deserves to be more fully described, has much the size and 
shape of Lretmophorus, but there is no abdominal cone and the 
ventrals have seven rays, some of which are slightly prolonged and end 
in a rounded head ; but no fish that I know of possesses anything like 
the beautiful lanceolate ventral paddle-like blades of Eretmophorus.

INTRODUCTION. 
This truly fine collection was brought home in 1888 by Mr. A. 
Everett, and he very kindly let me see it, and handed it over to me 
for the identification of the species. In this work, which has been 
delayed from various causes, I have been assisted very materially by 
Dr. R. Hungerford, who had a better and previous knowledge of 
the shells from that part of the world, and had in his collection 
examples of a good many Bornean species obtained from Sir James 
Low, Mr. Boxall, and other sources. Mr. Edgar Smith has also 
given me much aid in looking over and comparing these shells with 
those in the British Museum collection, and to both my sincere thanks
