NO. 1391. KOREA X FISHES— JORDA N A ND ST A RKS. 195 



first or second dorsal ray. Anal base shorter than half entire length 

 (without caudal) by half the diameter of eye. 



Color uniform silvery on head and sides, shading into light brown 

 on back. Fins all colorless. 



The body of this species is more slender than in either S. mAanochir 

 or .S'. tail/: the height being nearly a fourth of the length rather than 

 a third, or less than a third. The origin of the anal is under the 

 anterior dorsal rays and the pectoral filament is short as in the former 

 species, but the origin of the dorsal is nearer the snout than base of 

 caudal and the numlie^ of anal rays is greater as in the latter species. 



The type is 145 mm. in entire length and labeled ''Korea.'' It is 

 numbered 37766, U. S. National Museum, and was collected by Ensign 

 J. B. Bernadou, U. S. N., at Chemulpo, 1881-1885. 



A cotype from Ninsen, Korea, was presented by the Imperial 

 Museum, Tokyo, Japan. It is numbered 8659, Ichthyological collec- 

 tions, Stanford l^niversity. 



Named for Dr. Charles H. Gilbert.
