membrane of the trachea exactly as in Ophlophagus. Moreover, 

 a kind of septum appears to cliA^de that pouch into two, so that 

 there are, at least, traces of metamerism. There is, however, no 

 evidence of any connection in the past between this pouch and 

 the lung. 



3. Report on the Fishes collected by Mr. Oscar Neiimann 

 and Baron Carlo von Erlanger in Gallaland and 

 Southern Ethiopia. By G. A. Boulenger, F.R.S., 

 V.P.Z.S. 



[Received October 29, 1903.] 



(Plates XXIX.-XXXI.*) 



Mr. Oscar Neumann has entrusted to me for study the fishes 

 collected on the expedition from Zeila through Southern Ethiopia 

 to the Upper Nile in 1900-1901, of which he gave an account 

 at the Geographical Society in June 1902, and which is printed 

 in the 'Geographical Journal' for October 1902, with a map, 

 to which I refei- the i-eaders for the position of the localities 

 mentioned in this report. 



The fishes are all from East of the Nile system and were 

 obtained in the foUowing waters : — 



Modjo, Iraro, and Wabbi Rivers, affluents of the Webi Shebeli ; 

 Kassam, Gadschimboda, and Suksuk Rivers, affluents of the 

 Hawash ; Maki River, flowing into Lake Zwai ; Omo River, 

 flowing into Lake Rudolf; and Lake Gandjule, south of Lake 

 Abaia. 



The following list of 19 species, 4 of which are described as 

 new, extensively supplements our scanty knowledge of the 

 fishes of that part of Africa, based on the small collections 

 previously made by Marquis Antinori, Capt. Bottego, Prince E. 

 Ruspoli, aiid Dr. Donaldson Smith, which have been reported 

 upon by Dr. Vinciguerra f and Dr. Giinther %. Collections had 

 also previously been made in the Kassam and Maki Rivers by 

 Mr. E. Degen on his way to Lake Tsana, but the five new species 

 discovered by him and described by me § are, curiously, not 

 represented in the collection made in those rivers by Mr. Neumann 

 and Baron v. Erlanger.
