. A catalog of the fishes of Formosa. Fishes. .lollDAN AND RICHARDSON: FISHES OF THE ISLAND OF FORMOSA 203 rudiment directed upward, besides the hook at tip, and a sharp spine projecting forward from its base ; occipital region weakly rugose ; gill-opening about one-fourth diameter of eye, about equidistant between back of eye and origin of dorsal. Spinous dorsal inserted midway between back of eye and origin of soft dorsal; first and fourth dorsal spines longest, the first (specimens females) 2^ in head ; height of soft dorsal at its middle about one-third length of head ; last ray elongated, about 1| in head ; anal beginning a little behind second ray of soft dorsal; last ray of anal 2i in head; pectoral 1^ in head, its median rays longest; ventrals reach- ing past origin of anal; caudal as long as head, its middle rays not produced ; caudal peduncle depressed ; lateral line single. Color in spirits olive, rather heavily punctulated above, the punctulations on the back of the head and on the back as a rule encircling paler areas, some of which are more or less confluent; under parts pale ; spinous and soft dorsals rather faintly splashed and specked with dusky; anal with a basal and a marginal row of brown blotches, the basal row smallest; ventrals dusky, brown-dotted on inner two-thirds; upper pectoral rays with dark specks. Described from two specimens from Takao, two and one-half to three inches long, probably females. This species is near and perhaps not different from Gallionymus schaapii Bleeker described with dorsal IV-10, anal 10, six processes on preopercular spine, and with ventrals and anal black-edged. There is no point in which our species clearly differs from the scanty account given by Bleeker, whose specimen was from Banka. Family 282. Salarias namiyei Jordan & Evermann.
