JORDAN AND METZ: FISHES KNOWN FROM THE WATERS OF KOREA 6 



Tsushima. At Shimonoseki many species frequenting rocks are taken. The 

 fauna of Gensan on the northeastern coast of Korea beyond Gensan is appar- 

 ently northern, approaching that of Saghahn. The subarctic fauna described 

 by Schmidt and others from Saghahn, Vladivostok, and Peter the Great Bay, 

 undoubtedly extends along the Korean shores as far as Gensan. In the present 

 list we have not included any of these species, unless actually recorded from 

 Korea. These northern forms are not closely related to the fauna of the 

 temperate zone found in the waters of southern and western Korea. 



Among the species enumerated from Fusan are some closely related to 

 those on the Japanese shore, yet distinct from their nearest allies. The major- 

 ity of the species are, however, of the ordinary Japanese types. 



Dr. Jordan wishes to express his personal appreciation to General Terauchi, 

 Governor General of Korea, and to Vice-governor Yamagata for assistance in 

 this work. Governor Terauchi requested the co-operation of all the fishery in- 

 spectors. In this connection we desire to acknowledge the efforts of Mr. B. 

 Ihara, Commissioner of Fisheries for Korea, Mr. T. Kikuchi, head of the Bureau 

 of Education, Dr. K. Honda, Director of the Agricultural Experiment Station at 

 Suwon, Mr. Eitaro Ijima of the Bureau of Finance at Seoul, a former student 

 of the senior author, Mr. T. Wakamatsu, Governor of Fusan, and Mr. G. 

 Yamaoka, collector of Customs at Fusan, who rendered especially valuable 

 service. 



The new drawings in this paper are the work of the late Sekko Shimada, 

 and of Mrs. Herbert Charles Nash. The others are reprints from papers in the 

 Proceedings of the United States National Museum. The vernacular names are 

 given by Mr. Ihara. Unless otherwise specified they are the Japanese (not 

 Korean) names. 



Ten species are new: Spirinchus verecundus, Rhodeus chosenicus, Pseudo- 

 perilampus hondce, Parapelecus eigenmanni, Pseudaspius bergi, Pseudaspius mo- 

 destus, Epinephelus ionthas, Sctcena iharcB, Pleurogrammus azonus, Sebastodes ijimce, 

 Areliscus hollandi.
