It agrees with the account given by Tanaka (Jour. Coll. Sci., Imp. Univ., 

 Tokyo, XXIII, VII, 1908, p. 29) except that the eye is smaller, although Tanaka's 

 specimen was larger than either of ours. Fins similar; air-bladder cellular, as in 

 the type of Hemiramphus, the sides of body flattened and the ventrals posterior, 

 nearly twice as far from the snout as from the base of the caudal. Head 4.5, with 

 beak2.4; mandible3.5 in total length ; D. 14, A. 12. Scales53. Gill-rakers x+26. 



This species, described by Brevoort from the Riu-kiu Islands, has only been
