Carassius auratus auratus occurs naturally in Eastern China, the outlying islands Hainan and Taiwan, Korea and Japan. These subspecies are clearly distinguished from Carassius carassius by a higher number of gill rakers on the 1st branchial arch (39-50), fewer lateral line scales (28-31), deeply serrated dorsal and anal fin spines (Berg, 1948:

These subspecies are clearly distinguished from Carassius carassius by a higher number of gill rakers on the 1st branchial arch (39-50), fewer lateral line scales (28-31), deeply serrated dorsal and anal fin spines (Berg, 1948: 378, fig. 564 and Wheeler, 1969: 187), usually five branched anal fin rays and a slightly less deep body. This material joins one specimen (: 23) already deposited in the BMNH from a collection made by Mr M. Chaffargon and three (: 8-11) collected by C. W. Campbell from ' Mongolia'. Cyprinus carpio haematopterus (Temminck & Sen lege I, 1842) Material. NS 52-53, : 1072-1073 (89-91 mm); NS 57, : 1075-1076 (87-94 mm). Total 4 specimens. Variation. Conform with the generic diagnosis given by Berg (1948: 390 & 403) and his description of this subspecies (see also Shatunovskii, 1983: 203). Geographical range. Naturally restricted to Eastern Asia from the Amur River basin through Pacific draining waters of China, Korea and Japan. Ecological notes. Caught during this survey from Herelen Gol. Taxonomic discussion. Distinguished from the nominate subspecies by having generally fewer gill rakers on the outer side of the first branchial arch ( 17-25). All specimens caught are juvenile and superficially resemble gibelio, although close examination revealed the presence of four barbels (2 each side of mouth), a larger base of the dorsal fin and a higher number of lateral line scales (36-39). Is only the second specimen from this region to be de- posited at the BMNH; the first (: 7) was collected by C. W. Campbell. HOMALOPT
