ON THE ICHTHYOLOGY OF THE SEAS OF CHINA AND JAPAN. 275 
spines, though from the large space which intervenes between the anus and anal it is pro- 
bable that such exist. Colour of the back olive-green, with a diffused yellow tinge over the 
lateral line and temples. There is a very slight tint of lake along the under side of the la- 
teral line, and the under parts are pearly and silvery. Pectorals and ventrals pure sulphur- 
* yellow, the former having a carmine streak across the base, edged with bluish-gray. There is 
also a reddish stripe along the bases of the dorsal and anal, and the tips are red. A small black 
spot exists on the edge of the gill-cover, and the membrane connecting the last ten dorsal rays 
is tipped with black.

The figure in the ‘ Fauna Japonica’ has a near resemblance to Mr. Reeves’s drawing £. 21, 
which is quoted above as representing C. malabaricus, but its profile is more sloping.

The Brama atropus, Bl. Sch.'p. 98. t. 28, seems to be also this fish, and Schneider indeed 
mentions the first dorsal and the spines before the anal, as he observed them in the dried spe- 
cimen recumbent in their respective grooves. He also points out its Scomberoid charaeters. 
Atropus is therefore the prior specific name, but being compounded of Greek and Latin it is 
objectionable, and may be allowed to give place to the appellation of the same import proposed 
in the ‘Histoire des Poissons.’ M. Valenciennes states that a specimen preserved in Bloch’s 
museum is labelled Brama melampus and Scomber ciliaris, Examples of the species from 
China exist in the British Museum and the Chinese collection at Hyde Park.

This figure closely resembles that of chrysophrys in the ‘ Histoire des Poissons,’ except 
that the snout is rather blunter ; there is a small incurvature of the profile at the nostrils, the 
points of the dorsal and anal are scarcely so long, and the cheek, as well as the belly nearly 
to the anal spines, are represented scaleless. The golden tint of the eyebrow is very obscure. 
Length of figure 14 inches.
