316 PROCEED JNGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM. vol. xxv. 



The authors are indebted to Mr. Edmund Heller for a preliminary 

 identitication of part of the collection, a piece of work which other 

 duties have prevented him from completing. Important aid has also 

 been given by Mr, Michitaro Sindo, 



In the following- list the specimens received from the Fisheries 

 Institute without other locality than Taiwan (Formosa) and returned 

 to that institution are marked F. I, The specimens have mostly 

 Japanese collectors' numbers, 1 x, 2 x, etc. ; those not so provided 

 were given numbers by us. These imm-bers, remaining attached to 

 the specimens for purposes of identitication, may serve as a conveni- 

 ence to future students in Japan, The following genera and species 

 seem to be new to science: 



Zacco, new genus. 



Zaeco cvolans, Taihoku.

We refer our specimen to Ohilosc'i/lUwm iiid/cinn, although the dorsal 

 fins are somewhat farther apart than is shown in Dr. Dav's figures of 

 that species, separated by an interspace equal to the distance from the 

 snout to base of pectorals. The snout is a little shorter than in C. 

 indicum, 2,1 in head.

 head and body (snout to anus) 3 in length; head 2.5 in head and body; 

 snout 5 in head and body; snout to mouth 4.5 in head and ))ody; pec- 

 toral 3 in head and body; ventrals 4 in head and body; height first
