FISHES COLLECTED IN JAPAN. 19 
32. CALLIONYMUS VALENCIENNEI, Schlegel, Faun. Jap., &c. 153, pl. 78, f. 3. 
Nores.—From Lew Chew, 53 inches, No-migutsi. 
The drawing corresponds exactly to the description of the above species by Schlegel. The 
name given to it at Nagasaki, Tengurikutsi, seems to mean that it has a mouth like the net 
called Tenguri. 
The name given to it on the drawing, Nomigutsi, means chisel mouth. 
33, JULIS POECILEPTERUS, Schlegel, Faun. Jap., &c., 169, pl. 86. bis. fig. 1. 
JULIS POECILEPTERUS, Richardson, 15th meeting Brit. Assoc., 1845, p. 260. 
Nores.—From Simoda, 98 inches, Bera. 
Besides the description of the above fish in the Faun. Jap , Richardson gives another one in 
the report above quoted, Both these authors give the colors, which are much variegated, and 
appear to vary in different specimens. 
The Japanese name Kusabi, or Kfoosabi, means that it is of a grass-green color. At Simoda 
it seems to be called Bera, from a note on the drawing. 
34, JULIS LUTESCENS, Solander.

PLATE VIII, figs.3 and 4. 
Nores.—From Napha, Lew Chew, (68 inches,) D. 7. 13, A. 2. 7, P. 14. Operculum smooth, 
teeth interlacing, long retractile mouth. 
‘Though varying in some respects from the description of Solander, this is certainly the same 
fish. He observed it also at Lew Chew and Tahiti. His description as quoted by Bennett is as 
follows : 
‘* Piscis lutescens, strigis numerosis rubicundis transversalibus. Caput viridi lutescens, areis 
pluribus latis rubicundis. Abdomen virescens, vittis duabus luteis. Pinna dorsalis e viridi-lutes- 
cens, vittd paulo infra medium croced, limite superiore coeruleo. Pinnae pectorales lutescentes, 
apicibus migris. Pinnae ventrales lutescentes. Pinna ani viridi-lutescens, bast croced, limite 
coeruleo. Pinna caudae e flavo lutea, vittis marginalibus croceis. Iris argenteo virescens. Pupil- 
la nigra.”’ 
The figure published by Bennett is taken from the one brought home by Solander. It does 
not agree with the description, particularly in wanting the numerous cross bands of red. Mr. 
Bennett adds, that the Zoological Society has received specimens from the Mauritius, which how- 
ever will probably prove to be the Julis annulatus, Val., vol. 13, p. 501, pl. 388, from that Island. 
The figure brought home by the U. 8. Expedition is not a very good one, but is interesting 
as having been taken from life.
