312 MEMOIRS OF THE CARNEGIE MUSEUM. 



383. Rhinoplagusia japonica (Temminck & Schlegel). 

 Shimonoseki, Misaki, No. 6312. 



The name Rhinoplagusia of Bleeker has priority over Usinosita, based on the 

 same type japonica. 



384. Areliscus interruptus (Glinther). 



Misaki. 



Family TRACHYPTERID^. 



385. Trachypterus ishikawae Jordan & Snyder. 



A small specimen from Sagami Bay, 86 cm. long, No. 6384a, which has lost a 

 part of the tail and caudal fin, corresponds completely with the description of 

 the type, save that in the latter the pre-orbital is described as " very wide, radiate, 

 rugose." This is a clerical error, the maxillary being meant, as is evident from the 

 large adult example in the Stanford Collection and the illustration of the type. 

 The pre-orbital is about 5 in the eye, not bony, nor prominent. The premaxillaries 

 are greatly protractile and in the type they are fully extended, as is evident from 

 the plate. The premaxillary processes extend to the nape, slightly behind the eye. 



The teeth are slightly longer and more prominent than in our large adult 

 example. The vomer has similar teeth. 



Family LOPHIIDiE. 



386. Lophiomus setigerus (Vahl). 

 Misaki, No. 6082a-b. 



FAMILY ANTENNARIID^. 



387. Antennarius tridens (Temminck & Schlegel). 

 Misaki, No. 6383a-b; Kobe. 



388. Antennarius nox Jordan. 

 Misaki, No. 6382a. 



A large example, with the color-pattern of the type, but the ground-color pale, 



not jet-black. 



Family CERATIID^. 



389. Chaunax fimbriatus Hilgendorf. 



A small specimen. No. 6035a, one hundred and eighty millimeters long from 

 Misaki, together with two specimens from Sagami Bay, collected by the Albatross, 

 differ from an Atlantic specimen of Chaunax pidus Lowe in the extension of the 

 rostral tentacle back of the anterior border of the eyes, the coarser character of the 

 skin prickles, and larger eye, as well as in the presence of filaments on the lower side 

 of the body.
