JORDAN AND THOMPSON: FISHES OBTAINED IN JAPAN IN 1911. 237 
the contention of Franz is true. The two nominal species, S. leptosomus and S, 
paradoxus vary widely in this regard, as well as in the length of the caudal peduncle 
The present species is sharply differentiated from these two forms by the very short 
caudal peduncle (a difference too great to be bridged by variation), and the much 
deeper snout, being in these regards most nearly related to S. cyanopterus. For 
purposes of illustration the figures of the latter and of S. paradoxus are given on 
Plate XLI, figs. 1 and 2.
