Tientsin.

 from 50 to 250 mm. in h^iigth. 



2. MISGURNUS ANGUILLICAUDATUS (Cantor)." 



Of this species we liave man}^ specimens from various parts of Japan. 

 The specimen tioured in this paper has a curious history. It was 

 found alive in the bilge water of a coal steamer, the Acajniho^ on 

 its arrival in San Francisco from Nanaimo in British Columbia. It was

then kept alive in an aquarium at Stanford University for about a year. 

 Apparontl}^ it had been brought alive from Japan hy some Japanese 

 laborer and had survived some accident which had thrown it into the 

 hold of the ship. The specimen agrees fully with others from Yodo 

 River at Osaka. 



Two specimens from Shanghai seem to belong to this species, 

 aitliough having the head a little longer. Head. 5|, (\\ in length; 

 depth, Ti, 8, D, 188, 141. A specimen from Taihoku in Formosa has 

 the head 5| in body; depth, 6i; scales, 135; eye, 6i in head, 2^ in 

 snout; longest ])arbel, 2f in head. This may prove to be a distinct 

 species. It is mentioned b}" Jordan and Evermann as Mi.yurnus raiguil-
