 Another nominal species 

 of a very doubtful charac- 

 ter is one known only from 

 a Chinese figure and named 

 AnarrJiicJias fasciatus by 

 P . Bleeker . The figure was 

 one of many (462) paint- 

 ings by Chinese artists, collected by J. Senn van Basel and deposited 

 in the museum of the University of Groningen. The drawings of 

 fishes (440) were examined by Dr. P. Bleeker and a number of sup- 

 posed new species described from them. One of these was the A. 

 fasciatus, of which nothing was known as to habitat or habits, and 

 nothing further can be known until specimens are obtained. The 

 descriptive notice of the figure was published in 1873" and here 

 follows : 



Anarrichas Jasciatus Blkr.

 Operculum macula rotunda nitente viridi vel coerulea. Caput, dorsum lateraque
