EPINEPHELUS EPISTICTUS (Temminck and Schlegel). 



A specimen from Misaki measuring 380 millimeters, differs in color 

 from that figured by Jordan and Richardson. There are 2 sharply 

 defined, dark stripes passing backward from the eye, one to the upper 

 edge of the pectoral where it ends, the other midway between the 

 latter and angle of opercle, from where it turns downward and then 

 extends backward as a row of small, closely apposed spots along the 

 side of body to base of caudal. A stripe originates on upper edge of 

 opercle and extends along body to caudal; like the above, after 

 leaving the head, it is made up of spots more or less closely apposed, 

 and posteriorly it is broken up into reticulations. Above these fairly 

 definite stripes are numerous spots, each of which is about as large 

 as a scale. A dusky band, narrow in front and broadening posteriorly 

 extends along side of head just above maxillary to edge of preopercle. 



EPINEPHELUS PCECILONOTUS (Temminck and Schlegel). 



Misaki market. One specimen has 15 dorsal rays. The color 

 pattern is that illustrated by Temminck and Schlegel, the dark region 

 of the spinous dorsal extendmg downward on the back forming a 

 large oval spot not connected with the longitudinal stripes. 



EPINEPHELUS MOARA (Temminck and Schlegel). 



Misaki pools; Shimizu market. 



EPINEPHELUS SEPTEMFASCIATUS (Thunberg). 



Misaki. 



EPINEPHELUS CffiRULEOPUNCTATUS (Bloch). 



Tanegashima pools. 



CHELIDOPERCA HIRUNDINACEA (Cuvier and Valenciennes). 



One specimen from Tanegashima. 



ANTHLAS MARGARITACEUS Hilgendorf. 



Three specimens measuring about 100 millimeters in length were 

 taken in a pool at Misaki. There is a dense, black blotch on the 

 posterior part of spinous dorsal. The species is said to inhabit deep 

 water, its occurrence in a pool being unusual.

Pseudanthias venator Snyder, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mua., vol. 40, 1912, p. 529. 



One specimen from the Kagoshima market. This species is some- 

 what like Anthias nohilis lately described by Franz,^ but its maxillary 

 is broader and longer, the spinous dorsal is much lower, and there are 

 other differences including color pattern. 



SAYONARA SATSUM.S; Jordan and Scale.
