ACANTHOCEPOLA LIMBATA. 



Of this species, distinguished b}' the very small size of the scales 

 and the very large number of the fin rays, we have examined one 

 specimen from Giran, Formosa. This specimen is certainly typical 

 of Acanthocepola memprion and A. limhata is probably the same. 



A description and good figure (see above) of this specimen has been 

 published Jordan and Evermann."
