 longitudinal stripes following in the series of scales, and that along the 

 lateral line very much darker than the others; at the ])ase of the caudal 

 a blackish spot; dorsal, caudal, and pectoral brownish, the other tins 

 pale; lips brownish. 



Length, S/g inches. 



This description from an example from Matsubara on Lake P)i\vii 

 in Omi, 



Fresh waters of central Japan. Our very numerous .series of speci- 

 mens are from Matsu])ara on Lake Biwa in Omi, Nagoya in Owari 

 Katata in Omi, and the Chikugo River at Kurume. 



From Ishikawa's description of LeuccHjohio jordaui we see little to 

 distinguish it from the present species, although we hesitate to unite 

 the two without further material. We have also not seen anv speci- 

 mens with C teeth in the larger row.

Leucogofiio jordani Ishikawa, Annot. Zool. Japon., Ill, Pt. 4, April .'>(). liiOl, p. 

 163; Lake Biwa at Shiwotsu and Matsubara. 



Head 3 (in total); depth 6 (in total); D. 10; A. 7; V. 8; scales in 

 lateral line 39 — 40; scales transversely 5^-4^; pharyngeal Ci or .5. 3 — 3, 

 5 or f); eye 1^ in interorbital space. 



Head relatively long wnth the snout a little longer than the eye, 

 which is a little less than the length of the head; mouth anterior, 

 deeper than wide, its corner being halfway between the end of the 

 snout and the anterior border of the eye; barbels minute, about two- 

 thirds the diameter of the pupil. Pharyngeal teeth hooked at the end. 

 Intestinal tract with onl}^ a single convolution. Peritoneum with a 

 few pigments of brownish color. Number of vertebra? 33. of which 

 14 enter into the tail. 



There are about 3 series of scales between the lateral line and the 

 ventral iin. 



Origin of the dor.sal slightl}' in advance of the root of the ventral, 

 and just in midw^ay between the end of the snout and the root of the 

 caudal; caudal tin very deeply emarginate: pectoral fin about half the 

 length of the head, without snout and terminating a long way from 

 the root of the ventral; ventral shorter than the pectoral and 

 terminating in front of the vent. 



Color silvery; back dark brownish, and a bluish-black band on the 

 side of the body; a small triangular spot of a deeper color at the root 

 of the caudal is very distinct in small individuals. 



Length 78 mm. (about 3^ inches).

This species, not seen by us, is said to differ in a maiked way from 

 Leucogohio giinther I by its slender form, its longer head, and its longer
