Specimens of this fish from China exist in the British Museum and in the museum at Has- 
lar. They are all banded transversely, and very differently from the Australian specimens of 
C. phillipi. We have compared drawings of recent examples of this fish with Mr. Keeves’s of 
zebra, and find them to be very dissimilar in their markings, but the species are very much 
alike in form. Miiller and Henle most probably consider them to be identical, as they men- 
tion C. phillipi as an inhabitant of the Japanese seas. Small examples of zebra may be found 
in the Chinese insect-boxes.

Mr. Reeves deposited a Chinese specimen of this fish in the British Museum.

The British Museum possesses one of Biirger’s specimens, which differs a little from the 
figure in Miiller and Henle’s work, in having larger eyes, and somewhat differently shaped 
spout-holes. 
Hab. Sea of Japan.

Cart. 63. Chinese name, Le tow sha (Birch); Lae tow sha, “ Plough- 
headed sha” (Reeves); Lai tow sha (Bridgem. Chrest. 186). 
I have seen no specimen of this fish, but after a careful comparison with the description 
and figures of the species of the several sub-genera composing this genus, as constituted in 
the ‘ Plagiostomen’ of Miiller and Henle, it was not found to correspond with any of them,
