behind, as is the case in the Japanese specimen and as iig-iired by 

 8('hh'oel {('Jnrfodnn (iKrcH.s). In the Japanese species the white band 

 before the eye ceases at the level of the eyes, while in the Formosa 

 species it extends above it. The Formosan specimens belong to Chseto- 

 (lon collarix Bleeker, not Bloch, but we are not quite sure of their 

 identity with C. lu^f/ciihifus. 



152. CH^TODON FASCIATUS ForskSl. 



{Ch:i1<)(Ioii luinihi Lacepeile. ) 



One specinKMi from Kotosho identical with othei-s from Honoluhi. 



153. CH^TODON LINEOLATUS Cuvier and Valenciennes. 



Nos. 299 and 301, from Hokoto (Pescadores Islands). 

 Cliivtodoii fieiiiilanxitas, described as having 12 vertical cross-streaks 

 of orange, can not be this species, as this one has about 10 cross-streaks. 



154. CH^TODON CITRINELLUS Cuvier and Valenciennes. 



D. XIV, 21; A. Ill, It;; scales 30. 



Dark spots along the rows of scales very distinct, as is also the 3'e]- 

 l()\v stripe above the liroad l)lack edge of the anal; dorsal with a very 

 narrow dark edge. This species is wrongty identified by Bleeker with 

 ClrModon ■iniliaru. 



One specimen from Kotosho. 



155. MICROCANTHUS STRIGATUS (Cuvier and Valenciennes). 



One specimen. No. 311, of this common Japanese species. 

 Family ACANTHURID.F]. 



156. TEUTHIS TRIOSTEGUS (Linnaeus). 



One specimen. No. 320, from Kotosho. 



Belly abruptly white, below a wavy bounding line; two black spots 

 at base of caudal, one at upper, the other at lower edge; a black bar 

 below eye; four black bars below dorsal tin; four black spots about 

 l)ase of pectoral; lips black. 



This species, which is prol)a])ly the original triostegus^ differs from 

 the species called by that name in Hawaii and on the off-shore ishmds 

 of Mexico. The latter is Teuthis smuhoicJiensis (Streets), its earlier 

 synomymy, if any exists, ])eing confused with that of T. tr!(>st,^gus. 



157. TEUTHIS DUSSUMIERI (Cuvier and Valenciennes). 



A large specimen. No. 335, Formosa, F, I. 



D. IX, 20. Dark spots on caudal very distinct; traces of narrow 

 wavy blue stripes on head, and faint traces of the same on bod}'; a 

 pale area about eyes; tins oljscurel}' luarked.
