appear to be well founded. Of the color Doctor Gill says: "Light 

 browTiish, marbled with white, and with a blackish first dorsal." 



The species may bo easily recognized by the more or less definite 

 dark bar extending along the lower half of the caudal. 



CAXLIONYMUS VALENCIENNESI Temminck and Schlegel. 



Tokyo, Shimizii, Kagoshima, and Nagasaki markets. 



CALLIONYMUS BENITEGURI Jordan and Snyder. 



Otam, Hakodate, and Misaki markets. 



Some variation in the structure of the preopercular spine has been 

 observed. Thor(> are generally 3 recurved hooks present, but 

 occasional specimens have but 2, a third being sometimes indicated 

 by a sharp elevation, while rarely an example may be found with 

 but 1. All individuals examined have a comparativel}' wide inter- 

 orbital space, the back covered with numerous ocelli, the anal in the 

 male with white, wavy lines, in the female dusky or immaculate, the 

 caudal with elongate, blackish spots except on the three lower mem- 

 branes, soft dorsal with ocelli, vermiculations, and at least 1 (median) 

 row of blackish spots.

ASPASMA MINIMA (Doderlein). 



Misaki pools. 



ASPASMA MISAKIA Tanaka. 



Misaki and Tanegasliima pools. This appears to be a rather widely 

 distributed species, being found at least as far south as Okinawa, 

 where specimens were more frequently taken than at ^Misaki. 



Family BLENNIIDiE. 



ENNEAPTERYGIUS TUSITALE Jordan and Scale. 



Pools at Tanegasliima. 



ENNEAPTERYGIUS ETHEOSTOMA (Jordan and Snyder).

 sliima where it occurs in the tide jiools. 



ENNEAPTERYGIUS BAPTURUS (Jordan and Snyder). 



^lisald })ools. One small specimen of tliis rare species was found. 



ZACALES BRYOPE Jordan and Snyder. 



Misaki and Aikawa pools. One example at Aikawa. 

 Some examples possess scarcely a trace of the bright color pattern 

 so commonly found, the whole body and fins being almost miiform.
