I02. EPINEPHELUS HCEDTI (Bieeker). 



One specimen, No. -t x, from Formosa, F. I. Head and body 

 closely dotted with darker: caudal and anal broadly- edged with l^lack; 

 A'entrals chiefly black: dorsal with a brownish edge: pectoral plain 

 yellow. 



It is possil)le that Boulenger is correct in referring this species to 

 the synonjaiiy of EpiiKpliehix Jlavoceerideus (Lacepede), a species 

 having the body ])lain ])liu' or ])urpie, the fins bright yellow. 



103. PROMICROPS LANCEOLATA (Bloch). 



(I'liri/notit'iii (jigax Giinther.) 

 One young example. No. 5 x, from Formosa, F. I. 



Family LUTTANID.F. 



104. GLAUCOSOMA BURGERI Richardson. 



One large specimen. No. 304, 17 inc^hes long, from Keeran, For- 

 mosa. Inside of mouth black: ])eritoneuml)lack. This species seems 



distinct from Glaucosoma helrraicuin Richardson. The genus belongs 

 apparently to the Lutkinidse, although the extension of the lateral 

 line on the caudal fin suggests relationship to Late-s and Pmininoperca. 

 The caudal fin is ver}^ slightly lunulate.
