Seen in Fusan. Also from Chinnampo (Nos. 4102a-e; 4130a). This is 

 apparently Clupea inermis Basilewsky (p. 242) from about Tientsin.

The species described by Basilewsky under the name of Pristigaster chinen- 

 sis has not been noted by any subsequent author. It is the type of a new 

 genus, Zunasia Jordan & Metz, allied to Pristigaster, but differing in the form 

 of the body, the belly not forming the gibbous arc of a circle, being only 

 moderately curved. The dorsal, as in Pristigaster, is inserted before the anal, 

 near the middle of the body. The ventrals are wanting, as in Pristigaster and 

 Opisthopterus. The type of Pristigaster is P. cayanus from Guiana and northern 

 Brazil. No second species of Pristigaster is known. 



The name Zunasia is derived from "Zunashi," the vernacular name of the 

 related Sardinella zunasi.

The following description of Zunasia chinensis Basilewsky is founded upon 

 three specimens from 4.5 to 5.5 inches long, taken at Chinnampo, Korea, and 

 cataloged in the Carnegie Museum under No. 4569: 



D. 17 to 18; A. 48; scutes in front of vent 36; depth 3.66; head 4.5; eye 

 3 in head; snout 3.5; interorbital 7.5; maxillary 2.33. Body elongate, rather 

 slender, greatly compressed, deepest behind apex of pectoral. Dorsal outhne a 

 gentle, even curve from nape to caudal; ventral outline more convex. Belly 

 from gill-openings to vent slightly (not greatly) arched, the depth of the con- 

 vexity being much less than the diameter of the eye, armed with thirty-six
