Anguilla latiroslris Gunther, Cat. Fish., VIII, p. 32; China {part). 



Anguilla sinensis (?) Ishikawa, Journ. Coll. Agric. Tokyo, p. 428; Tokj^o. 



A small specimen, Xo. 6447, from Taihoku. It agrees with Giin- 

 ther's account of A. latiroslris, but that species was originally described 

 from Nice. The long head, greater than the distance from front of 

 dorsal to front of anal, is characteristic of this species. (Jordan & 

 Evermann.)
