relation to the Serranidae as the Trichiuridae to the Carangidae 
and Scombridae.’’ 
In their review of the Cepolidae of Japan, Jordan and 
Fowler?? publish details of the decades of the Fishes of the 
‘‘Faune Japonica.’’ The pages attributed to Decades x.-xiv., 
have been also printed for Decades vii.-ix., for which the figures 
should be pages 113-172, 1845.

The only oceasions on which the Kahawai was taken were 
in three successive hauls in Palliser Bay, the depths ranging from 
11 to 38 fathoms. 
It was taken somewhat more freely during the period of the 
extended cruise, but it is more than probable that the trawl did 
not secure all those encountered, for the fish is a very rapid 
swimmer, and would probably move off at the first sensation of 
the vibrations caused by the passage of the trawl.
