DESCRIPTION OF THREE NEW SPECIES OF CARANGOID 
FISHES FROM FORMOSA. 
By Davin Starr JoRDAN AND JOHN OTTERBEIN SNYDER. 
The Carnegie Museum has lately bought from Dr. Hans Sauter a fine collec- 
tion of fishes, obtained by Dr. Sauter from the port of Takao in Formosa. This 
collection has been placed in the hands of the present writers by Dr. Holland, the 
Director of the Carnegie Museum, for study and identification. 
Among the new species are three, all of the Citwla group of Carana, which 
seem to be new. One of these constitutes a distinct genus, Ulwa. The description 
of these species constitutes the present paper.

(Plate LI.) 
Head 35 in length to base of caudal fin; depth 2+; depth caudal peduncle 54 
in head; eye 4; snout 3; interorbital space 34; dorsal VII-20; anal III-18 ; pores 
in lateral lines about 115. 
Anterior profile rising abruptly to occiput from where the slope to base of 
dorsal is very gradual ; interorbital area high, the sharp median ridge about an eye’s 
diameter above orbit ; jaws about equal, the lower projecting slightly; maxillary 
extending to a vertical through anterior edge of pupil; width of posterior edge of 
maxillary contained 1¥ times in suborbital. Minute bristle-like teeth on the jaws, 
vomer, and palatines. Gill-rakers rather long for Carana, 10-22, those on lower limb 
of arch short anteriorly, the longest contained 6 times in head. Edges of opercles
