Heijo (No. 4186a-b). 



Three specimens from Heijo, Korea, yield the following notes: 



D. Ill, 7; A. 8; scales 8-50; depth 4.6; head 3.6; eye 4; snout 2.25; max- 

 illary 3.11; interorbital 4.25 in head. Body slender, deepest under first dorsal 

 spine; dorsal outline gently rounded, convex from snout to dorsal, thence sloping 

 rapidly to posterior part of dorsal and then very gradually to caudal; ventral 

 outline almost straight from snout to ventrals, thence sloping to caudal; dorsal 

 inserted above tip of pectoral, well before ventrals; ventrals reaching half-way 

 to anal; anal high, but not reaching caudal when depressed. Mouth inferior; 

 snout projecting slightly above; barbels on maxillary slightly less than diameter 

 of eye. 



Dorsal very high, third spine equal to depth of body; last soft ray two- 

 fifths length of first, which is equal to third spine; caudal emarginate; ventrals 

 and pectorals narrow, pointed; dorsal pale with dark tip; caudal dusky, darker 

 mesially; remaining fins pale. Body pale below lateral line, dusky above; all 

 scales on back and sides above the level of the pectoral dark-edged, producing 

 a lattice-work effect. 



This species is close to Hemibarbus barbus (Schlegel) from Japan, but is 

 certainly distinct. Dr. Berg identified Hemibarbus barbus with Hemibarbus labeo 

 (Pallas) from Siberia. On this question we have no opinion. We have seen no 

 specimens of Hemibarbus barbus from outside of Japan. 



47. Hemibarbus labeo (Pallas). 



Seoul (Steindachner) as Barbus schlegeli; Fusan (Berg). 



We have not seen this species, and do not know whether it is identical 

 with either the Japanese Hemibarbus barbus, or the Chinese Hemibarbus macu- 

 latus. 



48. Pseudogobio esocinus Temminck & Schlegel. 

 Chinampo (No. 4136a). 



We refer our specimens to this conmaon Japanese species. The snout in 

 Korean examples is somewhat shorter, and the lips a little less papillose, but 

 we find nothing to warrant specific distinction. 



49. Pseudogobio rivularis (Basilewsky). 

 Pseudogobio sinensis Kner.
