markings except a little dusky on posterior ])order of the latter. 
This species, the haliitat of which was heretofore unknown, is rep- 
resented in our collection by 2 poorly preser\^ed specimens obtained 
by F. L. Jouy at Sasuna, island of Tsushima, .Japan. Richardson's 
specimens collected by the Sulj)]^!/' were in a bottle labeled "Southern 
Pacific," ])ut Richardson observes, "As the bottle held several species 
fi'om the China Sea, there appears some doubt as to the native place 
of the fish." It probably came from China.
