(Plate XXXVI.) 



A single poorly preserved specimen of this form was collected by 

 Jouy at Tsushima. We describe it from much better specimens col- 

 lected at Misaki. The species very eloselv resembles C/ia.wiias 

 dolicliognathus (Hilg-endorf). It ditiers from it in coloration, not 

 having- very distinct, narrow, wavy, dark ]>ands on pectorals, dorsals, 

 and caudal, and in having a terminal band of white on the caudal, a 

 sharper snout, and much smaller scales.
