 locality: Japan). 



Rhina nebulosa Garman, Mem. Mus. Comp. Zool., vol. 3G, p. 256, 1913 (copied). 



Depth 9% to subcaudal origin ; head to hind edge of gill opening 

 Sys, width 31/2- Snout 3i/4 in head; eye 121/2, 3i/4 in snout, ^% in 

 interorbital ; dentary width 1% in head; teeth in 20 to 22 rows in 

 jaws, narrowly triangidar; internasal ly^ in interorbital; front nasal 

 valve broad, ends in rather long point and with inner tentacle equally 

 as long; hind nasal valve obtuse flap; interorbital 2% in head, de- 

 pressed concavely with bulge above each eye. Spiracles subequai 

 with eye, front edge fringed, interspiracle width greater than inter- 

 orbital. 



Scales simple, conic points, rough to touch. Median row of verte- 

 bral tubercles, about 36 to first dorsal. 



First dorsal length 3 in head; second dorsal length 31/5; upper 

 caudal lobe 1%, broad, subcaudal more angular, 1%; pectoral length 

 2% to subcaudal origin, width 1% in its length ; ventral 3% in length 

 to subcaudal origin, with slender point behind. 



Brown above, under surfaces whitish. Each tubercle on back 

 gives appearance of finely dotted with darker. 



Japan, Korea. Garman describes the "subcaudal vertically sub- 

 truncate, convex" and Schlegel's figure shows it similar, though the 

 impression one gets is that it may have been damaged. My specimen 

 shows a more slender angular lobe ending in a rather narrow point.
