NEW SPECIES OF PHILIPPINE FISH US. 53;^ 



long extending to base of anal, its length greater than liead being almost 

 equal to caudal. Pectorals 1.14 in head, their bases rather thick but 

 not nearly so strongly developed as in PeriopUhalmus. 



Color in alcohol (the specimen was not seen by us in a fresh state) 

 yellowish brown with six wide dark bluish bars over back and sides, the 

 first occupying anterior part of head including the snout and eyes. 

 Second on nuchal region down to opercles. Third from median portion 

 of spinous dorsal. Fourth from anterior third of soft dorsal. Fifth 

 from posterior part of soft dosal. Sixth on base of caudal fin. These 

 bands are but little narrower than the interspaces and the margins are not 

 sharply defined although the bands themselves are quite distinct. A few 

 small yellowish spots probably red or blue in life on upper portion of head 

 behind eye. Spinous dorsal grayish with duslcy center, soft dorsal dull 

 yellowish as is also the caudal. Anal yellowish, darker at tip with two 

 or three narrow submarginal lines. A'entrals dark gray. Pectorals yel- 

 lowish. 



Type is Ko. 2040, from the east coast of Luzon, P. I., June, 1907. 

 Secured by Mr. W. D. Carpenter. Length, 190 millimeters. 



MACGREGORELLA,' 



new genus. 



This genus is characterized by the presence of numerous striking ridges 

 and pockets of membrane with fringed margins on various portions of 

 the head. The head otherwise entirely naked. No scales in front of 

 dorsal. No pectoral filaments, no barbules, although the folds of mem- 

 branes from a side view give the appearance of barbules in the figure. 

 Body finely scaled, teeth in bands in each jaw, no large canines, tongue 

 rounded, free at tip. Soft dorsal and anal of 9 to 12 rays. The rays or 

 spines not elongate. Type of genus is Macgregorella inoroana Scale from 

 Jolo, No. 3575 in fish collection of Bureau of Science. 



Macgregorella moroana. Seale, ap. nov. 



Head 3.60 ; depth 5.50 ; dorsal VI, 11 ; anal 9 ; scales about 46, 16 in 

 vertical series ; eye 5 in head ; snout 3 ; interorbital, a mere ridge about 

 equal to pupil; maxillary 3.20, its tip not reaching to margin of eye; 

 mandible 2.50; head and nuchal region without scales. The head is 

 curiously marked by numerous membranes with fringed margins, the 

 three large vertical ones on the cheeks being somewhat pocket-like. 

 There are about twelve of these membraneous cross-ridges between the 

 tip and the angle of the preopercle, with two wide longitudinal membranes 

 on the median line of lower jaw, preorbital and snout each with two 

 or more membranous ridges, longitudinal as well as vertical membranous 

 ridges on cheeks. Lips with folds, mouth small, bands of small teeth in 

 each jaw, the outer series in upper jaw slightly enlarged, no decidedly
