Of Stanford University. 



During the winter of 1882-83, the late Mr. Pierre Louis Jouy, then 

 assistant to the United States National Museum, made a collection of 

 fishes at Shanghai and Hongkong, in connection with a visit to Japan. 

 He was accompanied and assisted by Dr. Frank C. Dale, U. S. N. In 

 the present paper is given a list of the species contained in the collec- 

 tion with descriptions of the new species. Fifteen additional species, 

 none of them new, are omitted from the list on account of the loss of the 

 record of locality. The plates accompanying the paper are the work of 

 Mrs. Chloe Lesley Starks and William Sackston Atkinson. The new 

 species are the following: CoiUa ectenes^ Zezera ratlibuni^ Fistularia 

 starksi, Coll/ cJitJiys frag ilis^ Prosopodasys leurynnis, a.nd £'leotris halia. 



For the opportunity of studying this collection we are indebted to 

 the courtesy of Mi'. Richard Rathbun, Assistant Secretary of the 

 Smithsonian Institution.
