In the summer of 1911 the senior author visited Korea, and with the aid 

 of the authorities in charge of the fisheries made a considerable collection of the 

 fishes of Korea (Chosen), especially of those obtainable at Fusan, and those 

 seen in the markets at Seoul, the collection being m the interest of the Car- 

 negie Museum of Pittsburgh, and of the Museum of Stanford University. Sub- 

 sequently a still larger collection was brought together by Mr. B. Ihara, Com- 

 missioner of Fisheries for Chosen, and afterwards forwarded to the United 

 States. This collection was made under the orders of General Terauchi, Gov- 

 ernor General of Chosen, and of Mr. Yamagata, Vice-governor A considerable 

 number of fishes from Suigen (Suwon) was obtained by Dr. K. Hunda, Director 

 of the Agricultural Experiment Station located at that place, which is inland, 

 about fifty miles southward of Seoul. 



The localities represented in our collections are the following: Fusan, the 

 port at the southern extremity of Korea; Chemulpo, the port of Seoul; Suigen, 

 (in Japanese Suwon), on an inland stream, tributary to the River Han, about 

 fifty miles south of Seoul; Heijo, near Pyeng-yang in northwestern Korea; and
