ON THE ICHTHYOLOGY OF THE SEAS OF CHINA AND JAPAN, 239 
Jarbua, Shaw, Gen. Zool. iv. p. 541 ; Icon. Reeves, 3.44; Hardw. Acanth. 
Chinese name, Ting kun yu, “Nail-fish” (Reeves); Ting hung u 
(Bridgem. Chrest. 130). 
Some of the Chinese specimens of this fish in the British Museum possess all the characters 
ascribed to servus, others seem to be intermediate between this species, theraps and o«y- 
rhynchus; so that it is difficult to decide on the species to which they ought to be referred. 
Hab. Red sea, Indian ocean, north-west coast of Australia, Javan sea, Torres Straits, the 
Moluccas and Chinese sea. 
THERAPON OXYRHYNCcHUS, Temm. et Schleg. F. J. Sieb. p. 16. pl. 6. f. 3; 
Icon. Reeves, 193; Hardw. Acanth. 70. Chinese name, Shih hed tseé, 
“Stony-horned tseé ” (Birch); Shih koh tsih, “Strong-horned ¢sih” 
(Reeves, Bridgem. Chrest. 131). 
The brown lines in Mr. Reeves’s figure resemble those of Th. ghebul, Ehrenberg. Several 
éxamiples exist in the Chinese collection at Hyde Park, and there is one in the museum at 
Haslar, which was obtained near Canton by Captain Dawkins of the Royal Navy. 
Hab. Coasts of China and Japan. 
THERAPON QUADRILINEATUS, Bloch (Holocentrus), 239. f. 2.; C. et V. iii. 
p- 134; Icon. Reeves, 6.34; Hardw. Acanth. Chinese name, Chang ko po 
(Reeves) ; Cheung ho po (Bridgem. Chrest. 136). 
Hab. Chinese sea. 
LATILUs ARGENTATUS, Cuv. et Val. v. p. 369. et ix. p.495; Temm. et Schl. 
F. J. Sieb. p. 63. pl. 28. f.2. Coryphene chinoise, Lacép. iii. p. 176 et 
209. Coryphena sima, Bl. Schn. p. 296; Icon. Reeves, 192; Hardw. 
Acanth. Chinese name, Fang tow hwo, “Square-headed hwo” (Birch) ; 
Fang tow wuh, “ Square-head wuh” (Reeves); Fang tow wah (Bridgem. 
Chrest. 215). 
Mr. Reeves’s drawing has a pale purplish-red hue, but he has informed me that the recent 
tints of the fish had faded before it was submitted to the painter. It represents the form of a 
specimen of Biirger’s in the British Museum better than the figure in the ‘ Fauna Japonica,’ 
the caudal in the latter being more rounded. 
Hab. Indian ocean and seas of China and Japan. 
Fam. Cirrwirip# (Gray). 
CIRRHITES AUREUS, Temm. et Schl. p. 15. pl. 7. f£.2; Icon. Reeves, a. 16; 
Hardw. Acanth. 47. Chinese name, Hwang. gaou,.“ Yellow gaou” 
(Reeves). 
Mr. Reeves’s drawing shows a fatty protuberance on the nape, overhanging the orbit, and 
a blackish patch on the gill-cover, which do not appear in the plate of the ‘ Fauna Japonica.’ 
An example of the fish exists in the British Museum which agrees with Mr. Reeves’s painting. 
Hab. Chinese and Japanese seas. 
CHEILODACTYLUS zonaATus, C. et V. v. p. 365. pl. 129; Temm. et Schl. 
F. J. Sieb. p. 64. pl.29. Labre du Japon, Krusenst. Voy. pl. 63.f.1; Icon. - 
Reeves, 8.43; Hardw. Acanth. Chinese name, Ke kung yu, “ Cock fish” 
(Reeves, Birch); Kai kung u (Bridgem. Chrest. 124). 
The British Museum possesses two of Biirger’s specimens of this fish, and there are Chinese 
ones in the collection at Hyde Park, the form of which is better represented by Mr. Reeves’s 
drawing than by the figure in the ‘ Fauna Japonica.’ 
Hab. Seas of China and Japan. 
Fam. Manipa. 
Gerres Equuta, Temm. et Schl. F. J. Sieb. p. 76. pl. 9. f.1; Icon. Reeves,
