S. N. M., Vol. XXXI, p. 202.) The following description is from two specimens (No. 4514), the larger 29 cm. in length, taken by Dr. Jordan in the market at Fusan, where the species is common: Eyes and color on the right side; D. 83; A. 74; caudal 16; scales from above gill-opening to base of caudal 118, above lateral line 35, below 42, series across head between upper edge of gill-opening and upper eye 28, between gill- opening and lower eye 24. Body long, ovate-lanceolate; seventeen dark cross bars on eyed side behind head, all but the first arranged in pairs; head with six cross bands, also in pairs; eye small, 6-7 in head, nearly twice interorbital space. Measurements in hundredths of total length: Head 15; depth 39; snout 4; lower eye to gill opening Mouth small, cleft to anterior third of lower eye, which is almost in contact with it; upper eye slightly in advance of lower; no rostral hook; scales all roughly ctenoid, those of anterior part of blind side provided with fleshy flaps, or papillae; fins scaled nearly to tips. Ground-color pale, broken on eyed side with dark cross-bands as mentioned above; dorsal and anal with continuations of markings of body on eyed side, margined with black. The cross-bands of this species are typically arranged in pairs, of which there are 12 between snout and caudal. Some of them, however, may be so joined as to make a pair look like a single band, especially near the pectoral fin. The larger number of fin-rays and scales distinguish this species from any other of the genus. In appearance it is not distinguishable from Zebrias zebrinus of Southern Japan and China. The two are clearly "geminate species," the northern form being Zebrias fasciatus, with an increased number of Please note that these images
