. A catalog of the fishes known from the waters of Korea. Fishes. 48 MEMOIRS OF THE CARNEGIE MUSEUM or palatines; teeth in jaws in bands, outer row enlarged, canine-like, inner rows becoming obsolete on sides; gill-membranes united, free from the isthmus, the opening extending forward slightly below; body, cheeks and upper parts of head with small ctenoid scales, not extending on vertical fins. First lateral line separated from dorsal by four rows of scales (five anteri- orly), each approaching its fellow in front of dorsal and behind dorsal, but in neither case uniting with it. The origin is on top of the head slightly behind eye, the apex is on base of caudal peduncle. Second lateral line runs parallel to first for length of dorsal, then descends abruptly to middle of caudal peduncle and thence in a straight line to base of caudal. Third lateral line extends from a point on a level with the sixteenth pectoral ray and above the middle of the ventrals, to above the last anal ray. Fourth lateral line runs from isthmus along edge of ventrals, to above first anal ray. Fifth extends along base of anal, uniting with its fellow between tips of inner ventral rays, running thence to isthmus. In addition to these there is a short line lying just above the fourth and reaching from above middle of ventrals to opposite vent. On one side of our specimen this unites for a short distance with the fourth, on the other it is free. The first and second lines are separated by fifteen scales anteriorly; the third and fifth by ten scales opposite insertion of Fig. 42. Hexagrammus aburaco Jordan & Starks. (Proc. U. S. N. M., Vol. XXVI, p. 1008.) Color dusky above, lighter below; fins all dusky; dorsal with black cloud- ings; caudal lobes black-tipped; no trace of the black cross-bands characteristic of P. monopterygius. Described from the type which is fourteen inches in total length, taken at Chinnampo, Korea. It is No. 4558 in the Catalog of the Carnegie Museum. This species
