Doubtful Species. 

 In the year 1903, Jordan and Evermann mentioned two species 

 of cyprinoid fishes from Formosa under the name Cirrhina sp. and 

 Dillonia sp. (Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., XXV, p. 322 and 324). For the 

 sake of completeness I give the original descriptions by those authors. 

 I have no specimens which belong to the general Cirrhina and Dillonia; 

 therefore nothing more can be said of them at present. 



Cirrhina sp. Jordan & Evermann. 

 "Closely allied to Cirrhina chinensis Giinther. D. 15; A. 7; scales 

 37; teeth 5, 4, 2. (No. 837, Formosa; Imperial Fisheries Institute, 

 Japan.)" 



Dillonia sp. Jordan & Evermann. 



"Allied to Dillonia aculeata Cuvier and Valenciennes. Head shaped 

 as Scaphiodon. Mandibles with barbels; D. 10; A. 11 ; scales 39." 



Family PCECILIID.^. 



Genus Oryzias Jordan & Snyder.

Body elliptical in form, compressed, covered with large scales; 

 mouth small, with two rows of small, simple, pointed teeth; no teeth 

 on vomer; gill-opening not restricted above; intestinal canal short,
