304 MEMOIRS OF THE CARNEGIE MUSEUM. 



The specimens recorded by Franz^ as Watasea macrops (Giinther) are un- 

 doubtedly the same as our A^. fasciatus. As to the differences between this species 

 and N. macrops, the coloration is not the same. We are unable, however, to find 

 other differences, and it may be that the two forms are identical, the more so as 

 Radcliffe^" finds the two differing in nearly the same way from A'', fasciatus. He 

 however states that the fin-ray counts in A'', macrops Giinther are: — D. 96; A. 83, 

 which is greater than that of our specimen. 



355. Neobythites fasciatus Radcliffe. 



One specimen. No. 6206a, one hundred and forty-eight millimeters in total 

 length, from Misaki, very poorly preserved. The measurements are given in the 

 comparative table under A^". sivicola, and are the same as those of the specimen from 

 Sagami Bay, which was described as the young of A'^. sivicola by Jordan and 

 Starks." As remarked above, the latter is plainly distinct, however, from N. 

 sivicola. Radcliffe^- (comparing specimens) regards these as probably the same as 

 his N. fasciatus, and we are unable to find any differences which would justify 

 questioning this decision, save that of color, as noted by Radcliffe. The spots on 

 the fins of our specimen correspond to those on the fins of A'', fasciatus, and there 

 are indistinct traces of cross-bands present. We do not, however, find the vomerine 

 teeth differing from those of A'', sivicola as stated, those of the latter not being in a 

 Y-shaped patch. According to Radcliffe, the vomerine patches of the teeth of 

 A''. 7nacrops and N. sivicola are both Y-shaped, but Giinther distinctly states them 

 to be in a A-shaped patch in the type of N. macrops. Our observations on N. 

 sivicola show a similar form, but somewhat more triangular. 



Family BREGMACEROTID^. 



356. Bregmaceros japonicus (Tanaka). 

 Misaki, No. 6118a-b. 



The usual Lernsean parasite with long egg-capsules is found on the side of the 

 body. This species may be the same as B. atripinnis Tickell from off New 

 Zealand. 



Family GADID^. 



357. Lotella phycis (Temminck & Schlegel). 

 Sagami Bay, No. 4144a (Coll. Owston).
