JORDAN AND THOMPSON: FISHES OBTAINED IN JAPAN IN 1911. 269 
Family TETRAODONTID. 
227. Spheroides spadiceus (Richardson). 
Osaka, No. 6430a—b; Shimonoseki, No. 6179a-c. } 
Three young; some with a dark blotch at base of dorsal, upper jaw-teeth 
grooved, with parallel ridges. 
228. Spheroides peecilonotus (Temminck & Schlegel). 
Shimonoseki, No. 6175a. 
Spots above pectorals confluent across the back. The pore-line across the 
nose is convex anteriorly, not posteriorly, as described and figured by Richardson, 
whose Chinese fish alboplumbeus is probably different from the Japanese form 
called pecilonotus. The specimen called Spheroides ocellatus by Jordan and Ever- 
mann, from Formosa, is the same species as this. 
229. Spheroides pardalis (Temminck «& Schlegel). 
Shimonoseki, No. 6269a. 
230. Spheroides chrysops (Hilgendorf). 
Misaki, No. 6150a. 
Fic. 39. Spheroides chrysops (Hilgendorf). (From Proc. U.S. N. M., Vol. XXIV, p. 249). 
Distinguished from other species of the genus by the short and deep caudal 
peduncle, the extension of the pectoral over half-way to dorsal, and by the color. 
231. Spheroides borealis Jordan & Snyder. 
(Mem. Carn. Mus., Vol. VI, fig. 41, p. 46). 
Misaki, No. 6116a. 
232. Canthigaster rivulatus (Temminck & Schlegel).
