 the prominences on the lower jaw and the corresponding

Pararashora moltrechti. 



Depth of body 3-| to 4 in the length, length of head 3§ to 

 3f . Snout as long or nearly as long as eye, the diameter of 

 which is 3^ to 3q in the length of head ; interorbital width 

 21 to 2^. Mouth oblique ; jaws equal anteriorly ; no barbel.--. 

 35 scales in a longitudinal series, b\ in a transverse series 

 from origin of dorsal fin to lateral line, 2 between lateral 

 line and base of pelvic fin. Dorsal 10, with 7 branched rays, 

 above the space between pelvics and anal ; free edge slightly 

 concave. Anal 9, with 6 branched rays. Silvery; most of 

 the scales on the sides with a dark vertical bar at the base. 



Two specimens, 54 and (J8 mm. in total length. 



Liobagrus formosanus. 



Depth of body 6 in the length, length of head 4?.. 

 Head a little longer than broad; interocular width nearly 

 3 in the length of head. Jaws equal anteriorly; prae- 

 maxillary band of teeth apparently about 2\ as long as 

 broad; posterior mandibulary baibel extending to basal part 

 of pectoral. Dorsal I 5 ; spine \ the length of head. 

 Pectoral spine ^ the length of the fin, which is 4 the length 

 of head. Anal 15. Caudal rounded. Greyish; fins dusky; 

 anal and caudal with a narrow pale edge. 



A single specimen, 37 mm. in total length. 



This species is very near the Corean L. andersoni, Regan,

Salanx acuticeps. 



Depth of body 11 in the length, length of head 5^ to 5§. 

 Head 3 times as long as broad ; snout acutely pointed, shorter 

 than postorbital part of head; diameter of eye 8 in the length 

 of head. Lower jaw not projecting, with a toothed prtfc- 

 dentary bone and with anterior canines which perforate the 

 roof of the mouth ; tongue toothless. Dorsal 13-14. Anal 

 26-27, originating below the second ray of dorsal. Pectoral

 base of pectoral. 



Two specimens, 115 mm. in total length.
