. Bulletin of the United States Fish Commission. Fisheries -- United States; Fish-culture -- United States. 18 BULLETIN OF THE BUREAU OF FISHERIES. Family AMBASSIDjE. 86. Ambassis kopsi (Bleeker). Head in length; depth ; eye in head; scales 30, two rows of scales on cheek; lateral line curved, continuous, 2i rows of scales above it, 9 or 10 scales before dorsal; preorbital and lower limb of preopercle serrated: first dorsal spine in length. Color yellowish white, uniform or with indistinct silvery line down middle of body; a black tip to second to fifth dorsal spines and membranes. Two specimens from Cavite, length 3 and inches. The generic name Chanda Hamilton-Buchanan, 1822, has priority over Ambassis Cuvier, 1S2S. The name Ambassis is not used in a generic sense by Commerson or by Lacepede. The first reviser of Chanda, Fowler (Proc. Ac. Nat. Sci. Phila. 1905, p. .500), has chosen Jala as type, and as this is a species of the group called Pseitdambassis, Chanda would replace the latter name, thus allowing Ambassis to stand for the original type, Ambassis ambassis.
