ciiltivrttion of tliis porgy are now going on at Oclio, Hiroshima pre- 

 fecture. Besides the sai'dino and Etntmeus micro[Ais, we find in this 

 sea SardineUa zitnad in much al)undance. A lancelet, Brandiiodoma 

 helcheri, inhabits the waters, off Sumoto in Awaji-shima, off Onomichi, 

 Hiroshima prefectuie, and off the province of Bungo. Besides, it is also 

 found near Shikajima in the province of Chikuzen, and in Amakusa, 

 in. the province of Higo. 



This sea is the home of Liimdus longispina. Prawns belonging to 

 Penaeus are extremely plentiful, being one of the most important of our 

 fisheries. The region around Hiroshima is famous for a very perfect 

 system of oyster-culture that has been carried on for centuries. In the 

 bay of Kojima, the cultivation of Area granosa and A. subcrenata has 

 l)een very successfully inaugurated. Some peculiarity may be attribu- 

 table for the inhabitance of a medusa, Cyanea nozoMi, which breeds in 

 this sea.
