numerous others, male and female, between 56 and 75 mm. in body-length, from 
Funayado, Kiusiu, collected by Jordan and Snyder (No. 7359, Stanford University 
Collection): 
Depth 3.33 in body-length to last vertebra; D. III, 8; A. II, 9; seales in lateral 
line 35, in transverse series between insertions of vertical fins 6/4; pharyngeal teeth 
5-5. 
Head about 4 in body length; eye 3.16 in head; snout slightly longer than di- 
ameter of eye; mouth but little oblique; anterior edge of premaxillaries level with 
lower edge of pupil; gill-rakers 2+8, slender and short; pharyngeal teeth smooth, 
hooked, with narrow grinding surface, and uncolored; barbel long, equal to snout; 
lateral line complete; caudal peduncle short, 1.14 in head, measured from last anal 
ray, its depth moderate, 2 in head; breadth of body, 2 in head. 
Dorsal insertion midway between snout and base of caudal, its base 1.33 in 
head, its height 1.5; anal inserted under last dorsal ray. Its base 1.5 in head, its 
height the same, its margin straight; ventral 1.83 in head, inserted under first dorsal
