MEMOIRS OF THE CARNEGIE MUSEUM. 



Lateral line strongly arched above pectoral, height of curve two-fifths of its 

 chord; an accessory line running to seventh dorsal ray. 



Color olivaceous, with irregular brownish spots, two rows on vertical fins and 

 three irregular transverse rows on caudal; peritoneum pigmented. 



This species is thus far known only from three small specimens, one from 

 Nagasaki (Bleeker) and the present two from Misaki. One of our specimens has 

 large, nearly ripe ova, and cannot be termed young. 



369. Scaeops kobensis Jordan & Starks. 



Of this species we have four examples from Misaki, two of which are in the 

 Carnegie Museum, No. 6086a-b. They are respectively sixty, sixty-two, sixty- 

 three, and seventy-five millimeters in total length. Of these three are females, 

 two of them with large ova in well developed gonads, and one a male. The

latter is distinguished externally by the very broad interorbital space and 

 much deeper head, the first being contained 3.8 in the length of the head, whereas 

 in the case of the female it is contained seven or eight times in the head. The 

 pectoral of the male is hkewise longer. The depth of the head in the male equals 

 the length of the head, while in the females it is decidedly less. Dorsal rays, 76-80; 

 anal, 61-63; scales, 49-52. The type of the species (No. 9822, Stanford University 

 Collection) is a large female, corresponding to our specimens, save for somewhat 

 wider interorbital space, due to roe.
