Not unconiinoii on the coast of Hondo. The form of tlic clai-k Wars

54. SEBASTODES PACHYCEPHALUS (Schlegel).

Rather common about rocks from Misaki southward. 



55. HELICOLENUS M ARMORATUS ( Cuvier and Valenciennes).

 573, 598. Yokohama. 



One of the commonest fishes in Japan and subject to larg-e vaiiations 

 in coh)r, according- to its surroundinos. 



56. HELICOLENUS ALBOFASCIATUS (Lacepede). 



Yokohama. 



Found about rocks in the Kuro Shiwo or "])lack current" from the 

 south, where it is rather common at some depth. This species is very 

 close to IleUcoleniix ///^//■///^>/v^/''/.s-,ditferino- chiefly in color and in the 

 presence of a small spine ])elow^ the eye which is wanting in the shore 

 species, IL inarmoratvx. We are indebted to Dr. Franz Hilgendorf 

 for an accomit of Lacepede's type of Jlolocrnfrns alhofasclatus, still 

 preserved in the museum at Berlin. This accomit agrees fully with 

 the species in hand. 



57. PARACENTROPOGON NUDUS (Giinther). 



Yokohama. 



This little Okose or poison Hsh is common alnnit rocks from Misaki 

 to Hiroshima. None of our specimens from this region possess any 

 scales. We therefore regard J\ )n«h(s as a species distinct from P. 

 l<)iHii'<j)ims^ which is said to have evident scales.
