line ; i6 scales in a median line between first dorsal spine and nape. 

 Scales of lateral line slightly indented on their posterior edge ; 

 many of the scales on back with a slight angle, others with a slightly 

 produced scallop. First dorsal spine very small, the second a 

 fourth as long as the third, which is contained from i to i^ in 

 length of head. Front of dorsal midway between snout and a 

 point on caudal peduncle distant from base of caudal fin once and a 

 half times diameter of orbit. Pectoral fails to reach vertical from 

 front of dorsal by a distance equal to half the diameter of the eye. 



Color in spirits pinkish yellow with a longitudinal lateral series 

 of about 8 large black spots above lateral line ; smaller spots irreg- 

 ularly placed on back and sides (on the large specimens following 

 the rows of scales); dorsal and caudal with similar black spots; 

 other fins without markings. 



This species differs from H. barbus, particularly in color. The 

 black spots have been seen only in the young of the latter species. 



Four specimens collected by Dr. Drake in the Pei Ho at Tientsin, 

 China. The largest, No. 8414, Stanford University, is 29 cm. in 

 length. 



The species is named for the enlightened and progressive Emperor 

 of China, officially known as Kwang-Hsu, Joi-Ten being his per- 

 sonal name, not spoken by Chinamen but available in the democracy 

 of science.
