1903.] FISHES FROM SOUTHERN CAMEROON, 23 
jaw, 8 in the outer row of the lower jaw; length of lower border 
of second suborbital equal to diameter of eye.  Gill-rakers 
moderately elongate, closely set, 20 to 23 on lower part of anterior 
arch. Dorsal IT 8, entirely behind base of ventrals, originating a 
little nearer CEN than end of snout, twice as deep as long. 
Adipose fin small, 24 or 25 times as distant from the rayed dorsal 
as from the caudal. Anal ITT 13-15. Pectoral as long as head, 
reaching ventral or nearly so far, Caudal forked. Caudal peduncle 
as long as deep. Scales 25 a, 2 between lateral line and ventral. 
Silvery, brownish on the back; a black humeral spot and a black 
lateral band, commencing under the dorsal and extending on the 
median rays ‘of the caudal : dorsal, caudal, and ventral fins lemon- 
yellow. 
Total length 130 millim. 
Four specimens; Kribi River and Mvile River. 
Very closely allied to A. fuchsii Blgr. and A. kingsleye Gthr. 
Distinguished from the former by the less massive form and the 
longer pectoral fin; from the latter by the more posterior position 
of the dorsal fin and the larger eye; from both by the more 
numerous gill-rakers,
