CHECK-LIST OF THE SPECIES OF FISHES

KNOWN FROM THE PHILIPPINE

ARCHIPELAGO.

By David Starr Jordan and Robert Earl Richardson.

In the present paper is given a list of all species of fishes positively
known at the date of January 1, 1909, as inhabiting the waters of the
Philippine Archipelago. A complete bibliography of the ichthyology of
the Philippines is given in the Appendix.

The writers are indebted to Mr. Alvin Scale and to Mr. Kichard Crit-
tenden McGregor for important aid on tlie preliminary work of the
preparation of this catalogue; 830 species are included, a large number,
which probably represents less than half of the actual fish fauna of these
Islands.

INTRODUCTION.

The list has been drawn up without reference to the lists of Elera,
Gogorza, and Palacky (noted in the bibliography). A list of those
species of Palacky's catalogue which are known on no other authority
than that of Palacky, Elera, or Gogorza, is appended at the conclusion of
the present check-list. In the present list the full reference to the original
description is given in case only of those species not noticed or described,
in Gunther^s Catalogue of the Fishes of the British Museum. In the
record of geographical distribution which follows the name of each species
admitted to the check-list, the name by which the species was designated
by an author is given only in case the specific name used was different
from the one here employed. jL.} '

'^ Microdonophis macgregori Jenkins (Bull. U. S. Fish. Comm. XXII, 1902, p.
422), the type of Jenhinsiella Jordan & Evermann, with lips fringed, maxillary
teeth uniserial (fide Jenkins), and dorsal inserted far in advance of gill-openings
seems to be congeneric with Ophichthys (Cirrhimurwna) calamus Glinther, from
Australia. The orignal description of Cirrhimurcena {J enkinsiella) nectura
(Jordan & Scale) erroneously states that the maxillary teeth are in a single
series. A reexamination of the type proves that they are in broad bands. Of
the four species included by Dr. Glinther in the subdivision Cirrhimurcena, one,
Ophichthys playfairii Glinther, from Zanzibar, with the teeth in bands, the lips
fringed, and dorsal commencing "a short distance behind angle of mouth," appears
to be intermediate between Jenhinsiella {macgregori) and Cirrhimurcena as above
defined.

Gaimard, as subsequently admitted by Dr. Day and more recently
formally stated by Boulenger.
