Described from a specimen from Pescadores Islands, collected by 

 M, Oshima on September 15, 1920. [This example seems to agree 

 fully with the account of Mugil crenilabis as given by Cuvier and 

 Valenciennes. It is not, however, a true Mugil, and it may prove the 

 type of a genus distinct from Cliclon. — D. S. Jordan.] 



Habitat: Pescadores Islands^ (a single specimen). 



1 The " Pescadores Islands " here mentioned, are a small group west of For- 

 mosa, and not to be confounded with other groups of the same name. — Ed.
