| A small number of fishes from the Netherlands Antilles has been collected and recently presented to the Leiden Museum by Dr. J. S. Zaneveld, Head of the Biology Department, College of William and Mary, Norfolk, Va., formerly Director of the Caraibisch Marien Biologisch Instituut, Curaçao; and Dr. L. B. Holthuis, Curator of Carcinology at the Leiden Museum. While most specimens proved to belong to known Caribbean Syngnathidae, one very remarkable specimen appeared to belong to an undescribed species. Syngnathidae Syngnathus dunckeri Metzelaar Syngnathus dunckeri Metzelaar, 1919, p. 28, fig. 9 (Plaja Grandi, Curaçao; lake of Bonaire; harbour of St. Eustatius; St. Martin); —, Longley & Hildebrand, 1941, pp. 56, 59 (Long Key; inside Bird Key reef); —,... |

| INTRODUCTION Fishes of the genus Macrones Duméril (= Mystus Scopoli), family Bagridae, are mainly distributed from Syria in the north-west, through Pakistan, Ceylon, India, Bangladesh, Burma, Thailand and Malaya, to the East Indies. Thirty-eight species have been described in the genus, of which six are reported as occurring in China (Jayaram, 1966: 445). In an earlier communication (Jayaram, 1968: 294) it was surmised that the genus may not be found in China and that the six species described from that country be best left out of Chinese lists, or that they may be placed under the predominantly Chinese genus Pelteobagrus Bleeker. Through the kind courtesy and co-operation of Dr. Volker Mahnert, Geneva, Dr. P. Kähsbauer, Vienna and Dr. M.-L. Bauchot,... |

| INTRODUCTION In the summer of 1954, I received an invitation from the Netherlands New Guinea Government to undertake a faunistic investigation of the fish fauna of the area. It was thought advisable for the promotion of the local New Guinea fisheries, to first obtain a more thorough knowledge of the fish fauna of the region, based on a collection as complete as could be attained within a reasonable time. As such a collecting trip could be expected to yield results of considerable zoological and zoogeographical importance, I gladly accepted this unique opportunity. A most fortunate circumstance was that my visit coincided with an already previously planned collecting trip to the same area by two of my colleagues, Dr. L. D. Brongersma, at the time... |

| In de loop van de laatste jaren werd de vissencollectie van het Rijksmuseum van Natuurlijke Historie te Leiden, dank zij de welwillende medewerking van diverse contribuanten, verrijkt met een aantal vissen welke hetzij nieuw zijn voor het Nederlandse faunagebied of de Noordzee, hetzij om andere redenen van belang lijken om hier vermeld te worden. Ook een correctie op de jongste literatuur omtrent de „Kroeskarper" is hier aan toegevoegd. Prionace glauca (Linnaeus), de Blauwe Haai (pl. ι) Redeke (1941: 40) vermeldde de Blauwe Haai, tot dat tijdstip gewoonlijk met voorbehoud tot onze fauna gerekend, op grond van een 1.80 m lang wijfje dat op 3 december 1927 bij het lichtschip „Haaks" werd gevangen, voor de eerste maal met zekerheid. In de Nederlandse... |

| The following pages contain a first report on the fishes collected by Dr. D. C. Geijskes and Mr. P. H. Creutzberg during the recent expedition to Dutch Guiana. A deplorable lack of time caused by the necessity to temporarily divert my attention from the present field of ichthyological research, compels me to publish these results before actually having finished the investigation of this rich and interesting collection. In consequence of this, the present paper concerns a part of the actual material only, and, though it includes in number the major part, a report on specimens belonging to some of the most interesting groups has to be postponed. For convenience' sake, the species recorded in the present paper have been arranged in the same order as used by... |

| In Dr. D. C. Geijskes' collection of Surinam fishes, mentioned in my previous paper on this subject (Boeseman, 1948), I found six specimens belonging to the so-called "sting rays" (Dasyatidae), representing three different species, and all very interesting in some respects. I. Dasyatis schmardae (Werner). Trygon schmardae Werner, 1904, p. 298 (Jamaica). Dasybatus schmardae, Garman, 1913, p. 386 (after Werner). Dasybatus schmardae, Meek & Hildebrand, 1923, p. 81 (Toro Point & Mindi Cut, Panama Canal). Dasyatis schmardae, Fowler, 1931, p. 391 (Vessigny River at Brighton, Trinidad). Four specimens, from Coppenam Point, Surinam, coll. Dr. D. C. Geijskes, Dec. 1942, 2 ♂ ♂ measuring 530 and 575 mm, 2 ♀ ♀ measuring 610 and 705 mm. The condition of the... |

| Rejecting without valid argumentation a lectotype selection for Raja kenojei Müller & Henle, 1841, by the present author (1947), Ishiyama (1967) indicated another of the four Leiden types as such. Both selected specimens are shown to represent only the different sexes of the same species, which is not conspecific with R. kenojei sensu Ishiyama et al. (= ? R. japonica Nyström, 1887) but rather with R. porosa Günther, 1847, as understood by Ishiyama. One of the R. kenojei types is referred to R. meerdervoortii Bleeker, 1860, a distinct species not identical with R. kenojei in either interpretation, and of which R. macrophthalma Ishiyama, 1950, may well prove to be a junior synonym. Müller & Henle's coloured illustration of R. kenojei, made after a... |

| Pieter Bleeker described 72 new species and 10 new genera of elopoid and clupeoid fishes from the Indo-Malayan Archipelago. From amongst the Bleeker material in the Rijksmuseum van Natuurlijke Historie in Leiden and the British Museum (Natural History) in London, it has been possible to find the holotypes or designate lectotypes or putative neotypes for almost all these species. The types are fully described, with notes on synonymies and affinities. Of the species listed, 24 are considered senior synonyms, and 5 Bleeker genera are accepted. |

| From Mr. A. Werner, collector and animal dealer at Munich, Germany, the Leiden Museum received a collection of 1012 well preserved specimens of fishes from Stanley Pool (Léopoldville), Belgian Congo. As several species proved to be new for this locality and are not mentioned in Poll's paper on the fishes from Stanley Pool (1939), the following publication was considered worth while. Moreover, a new Synodontid species, Synodontis werneri, is described. In the present report, the various species are recorded in the same order as in Poll's account. The name of the locality, being always the same, is omitted further on. Protopterus dolloi Boulenger 2 ex., January 1956, 76-91 mm. Both specimens are juvenile and have the tail slightly mutilated. Scales in 90-98... |

| In his valuable report on the freshwater fishes of British Guiana, Eigenmann (1912, pp. 64-73) gave a list of the species, together with comparable lists on the freshwater fishes of the adjacent regions. In sharp contrast with the number of 266 species reported from the Essequibo area only, the total amount of Surinam species proved to be but 118! Although since Eigenmann compiled these lists some more species have been reported from Surinam, the general situation has remained essentially the same, clearly showing the backward state of ichthyological research in this area. A possibility to improve our knowledge of this subject came when during the last four years the Rijksmuseum van Natuurlijke Historie received several more or less extensive collections... |

| A visit to the Leiden Museum by Professor Dr. L. F. de Beaufort, assembling data for his next volume on the Fishes of the Indo-Australian Archipelago, prompted me to investigate the nomenclatorial difficulties still existing around the Plectognath genus Triodon and its single known species. One of the principal items consulted, Herre's 1953 Check List of Philippine Fishes, itself not without serious flaws and therefore illustrative for the present problem, proved a very satisfactory starting-point, especially as it contains the only recent and rather extensive compilation of previous literature on the subject. Still, Herre's enumeration of references is not at all exhaustive, and numerous additions taken both from systematic literature and from general... |

| A collection of 561 specimens of East Asian freshwater fishes has recently been presented to the Rijksmuseum van Natuurlijke Historie at Leiden by Mr. A. Werner, Munich, a well known collector and naturalist. A close examination of the present material provided several interesting data, which are given below, while one sample proved to belong to a species and genus new to science. The localities given by Mr. Werner are : Colombo, Calcutta, Bangkok, and Singapore, but some of the Singapore material seems to have been imported, presumably from Sumatra or Borneo. Kryptopterus bicirrhis (C. V.) 18 ex., Singapore, probably 1956, 38-73 (46-87) mm. Occasionally the name Cryptopterus is still used for the present species. The original name was given by Bleeker... |

| INTRODUCTION In 1954, during a visit to Hollandia, western New Guinea, it was rumoured that sharks had been observed in the fresh water of Jamoer Lake, at a distance by effluent river of about 130 km from the Arafoera Sea. For further information on the locality, including a map of the area, I refer to the first note in the present series (Boeseman, 1963: 231, fig. 6). With eagerness we welcomed an opportunity provided by Rear Admiral (at the time Captain) G. B. Fortuyn, then Commander-in-Chief Naval Forces Netherlands New Guinea, to pay a short visit to the isolated lake. All necessary facilities, including transportation and maintenance, were kindly furnished by the Royal Netherlands Naval Air Service and the Royal Marines. Accompanied by my colleagues... |

| Het hierna volgende overzicht over de Nederlandse meerval werd samengesteld, naar aanleiding van een verzoek bij monde van Dr. H. G. J. Bouquet, ten behoeve van het Ministerie van Landbouw en Visserij. Daar een dergelijk overzicht tot nu toe niet werd gepubliceerd, en vele gegevens van belang verspreid zijn in min of meer ontoegankelijke kranten en periodieken, leek het wenselijk deze in iets gewijzigde vorm hier te reproduceren. Ten overvloede zij vermeld dat, gezien de aard van de bronnen, ook dit overzicht wellicht geen aanspraak kan maken op volledigheid. Van de zeer omvangrijke groep der meervallen (ongeveer 2100 soorten) komt slechts een enkele soort in Nederland voor, en slechts twee in Europa (Silurus glanis Linnaeus en Parasilurus aristotelis... |

| After a short characterization of the political and economical developments in 17th-18th century Netherlands and some general remarks on the Houttuyn family and its social status, the ancestry of Martinus Houttuyn is thoroughly established. In the medical thesis he presented at Leiden University in 1749 many interesting facts about his early life and scientific development, hitherto overlooked, were found. The six principal zoological publications of Houttuyn are reviewed and are listed together with many others on a wide diversity of subjects. The esteem he received during his lifetime from compatriots as well as foreign scientists, in contrast to the near oblivion in the 19th-20th century, is demonstrated. We tried to entangle the vicissitudes of his... |

| In 1953, Mr. E. C. Stol, naturalist at Leiden, kindly placed at my disposal a small collection of Surinam freshwater aquarium fishes. A second collection, consisting of freshwater and marine specimens from Surinam, mainly collected by Dr. D. C. Geijskes and Mr. H. W. Lijding (Fishery Department), was received during 1954. As the two collections proved to contain several interesting specimens belonging to species not yet reported from Surinam, the following enumeration is given. To the measurements of specimens with damaged caudal fins the mark is added. Dasyatis guttata (Bl.; Schn.) 1 ex., near lightship Surinam River, 5-8 miles E., 12 January 1954, H. W. Lijding, 412 mm, ♂. Further data: length of disc (to anus) 97 mm; length of tail (from anus) 315 mm;... |

| INTRODUCTION The collections made by Burger and Von Siebold during the second quarter of the previous century, in the neighbourhood of Nagasaki, were so extensive that they gave Temminck & Schlegel the opportunity to build the foundation for the knowledge of the Japanese ichthyofauna. In her publication "'s Rijks Museum van Natuurlijke Historie, 1820-1915", Dr. A. Gijzen states: "Burger sent among others fishes"; "25 December 1832 Temminck gives him a list of the desired species of animals." As she further states, Burger's position in Japan is not quite clear; in a letter from 9 November 1839, Temminck writes to the Minister that he knows Burger as a collector only, but that he knows no further particulars about him. Burger's name has been mentioned in... |

| During my visit to western New Guinea (1954-1955), a rich collection of marine animals was presented to the Leiden Museum by the Fisheries Department of the Netherlands New Guinea Government. The specimens, mostly fishes, had been captured during previous trips of the Government fishing vessel "De Goede Hoop", and were preserved on the initiative of Mr. D. C. Zwollo, at the time Director of the Fisheries Department there, to whom we are especially indebted. One of the most intriguing specimens of this fish collection, evidently representing a new genus and probably even new higher categories of fish taxonomy, is discussed here. It is a pleasure to dedicate the present species to Prof. Dr. H. Boschma, who has expertly guided the first steps of so many... |
