Hyporhamphus roberti (Valenciennes). 



Newport, Rhode Island; Corson's Inlet, New Jersey; Volusia, 

 St. Augustine, Key West and Point Puellas, West Florida. In 

 most examples, or excepting the largest, which from Rhode Island, 

 and another from Key West, the ventral origin is about midway 

 between preopercle edge and caudal base. In the exceptions it 

 is about midway between hind eye edge and caudal base. All, 

 however, have the beak over twice the head length as measured 

 after front eye edge. 



Hyporhamphus kurumeus Jordan and Starks. 



Chikugo River at Kurume, Japan. 



EULEPIDORHAMPHUS new sub-genus. 

 Type Hemiramphus sajori Schlegel. 



Distinguished from the sub-genus Hyporhamphus Gill by its 

 very small scales, 90 to 100 in lateral series. (Eu, well; Xszic, scale; 

 'gi\x^oq, beak.) 



Hyporhamphus sajori (Schlegel). 



Hakodate and Kushiro, Japan. 



Hemiramphus intermedius Cantor. 



Victoria, Australia. Though Glinther says^ dorsal and anal 

 scaleless, and Macleay** apparently copies, McCoy^ shows the dorsal 

 and anal scaleless. The last, however, indicated the dorsal en- 

 tirely with broken or somewhat clotted horizontal dark lines, 

 which are not clearly intended as scales. In my examples the 

 membranes of the soft dorsal and anal are covered with fine narrow 

 scales for at least f basally. 



Hemiramphus far (Forskal). 



Philippines; Padang, Sumatra; Zanzibar. 



Hemiramphus brasiliensis (Linnaeus). 



Sea Isle City, New Jersey; Chesapeake Bay; Aguadilla, Porto 

 Rico; St. Kitts and St. Croix, West Indies; Port Antonio, Jamaica; 

 Christian Island, west coast of Mexico; Honolulu, Hawaiian
