Prof. Eug. Dubois collected a number of fossil fish remains. His
searches were instituted mainly in pleistocene deposits, and as
far as I am aware these fish remains were the first of their
kind to be collected in Java in strata of that age. This, and

preliminary papers, gives this collection additional interest.|
In the first of his preliminary papers, Dubois (1907, p. 455)
mentions the following fish: Anabas microcephalus, Clarias
