30 MEMOIRS OF THE CARNEGIE MUSEUM 



Family RACHYCENTRID^. 



109. Rachycentron pondicerrianixm (Cuvier & Valenciennes). "Sugizame." 



One large specimen seen in the museum at Fusan. It is not clear that 

 this Asiatic species is distinct from Rachycentron canadum of the Atlantic. 



Family CHEILODIPTERIDiE. 



110. Amia lineata (Schlegel). 

 Market of Fusan. 



111. Scombrops boops (Houttuyn). 

 Tsushima (Jouy). 



Family PRIACANTHID^. 



112. Priacanthus macracanthus (Cuvier & Valenciennes). 

 Fusan {Priacanthus benmebari of Schlegel) ("Korea" 4511). 



Family SERRANID^. 



113. Lateolabrax japonicus (Cuvier & Valenciennes). "Suzuki." 

 Fusan, abundant. ("Korea," Nos. 4479a, 4481a, 4552a-b, 4580.) 



The dark spots on the sides are more distinct than usual in Japanese 

 specimens. The species described from Pechili and Naukin as Labrax lyiuy by 

 Basilewsky, Ichthyographia Chinee Borealis, p. 219, is not identifiable unless it be 

 by the Chinese name. It is a fish of the type of Lateolabrax, or Epinephelus, 

 "blackish in life, striped and banded with dusky after death. Caudal entire; 

 dorsal notched: it lives in all the rivers." Perhaps it is based on Siniperca 

 chuatsi. 



114. Siniperca scherzeri Steindachner. (Plate VI, fig. 1.) 



This species is here described from two specimens respectively 160 and 90 

 mm. long, taken in the River Kan-ko near Fusan, Korea (No. 4174a). A larger 

 specimen from Heijo has precisely the same color-markings (Suigen No. 4173). 

 Head 2.6; depth 3.6; snout in head 3.5; eye 5.16; interorbital 6; depth caudal 

 peduncle 3.6; maxillary 2.2. Dorsal XII, 13; anal III, 9; pores in lateral line 

 about 100; series of scales along lateral line about 126, between lateral line and 

 dorsal 23 to 25. 



Body long, slender, compressed, deepest under fourth dorsal spine; head 

 depressed in front, the upper profile descending abruptly at nape, and thence 

 gradually in a straight line to tip of long, pointed snout. Lower jaw strongly
