JORDAN AND SNYDER: CARANGOID FISHES FROM FORMOSA 2) 
4-16 on the first arch, those on anterior part of lower limb very short, the longest 
(near angle of arch) contained 7% times in head. 
Seales very small; base and axil of pectoral, breast, and throat naked ; a small 
isolated patch of minute, partly embedded scales anterior to base of pectoral; cheek 
and upper parts of preopercle and opercle with small scales ; head otherwise naked, 
the unscaled area extending backward to base of spinous dorsal. Lateral line 
broadly curved above pectoral, the curved part including considerably more than 
half of the lateral line; straight part of the lateral line with small, weak plates, 
those on caudal peduncle scarcely keeled and without spines. 
Dorsal with 7 spines, the posterior 2 being small and detached ; highest spine 
24 in head. Anterior part of soft dorsal elevated but not filamentous, the height 2 
in head; other rays 44 in head. Anal similar in shape to dorsal; height of first 
rays 12 in head, following rays 4 in head. Caudal lobes equal, 3;'5 in the length. 
Pectoral falcate, 2% in the length. Ventrals 24 in the length. 
Color silvery ; a small dusky spot at upper edge of opercle ; axil black ; dorsals, 
anal, and caudal edged with dusky; ventral and pectoral immaculate. 
Described from the type, an example 113 inches long from Takao, Formosa, in 
the Carnegie Museum, collected by Dr. Hans Sauter. A similar specimen, differing 
in no particular from the type, was recorded from Formosa as Carangus armatus 
‘with opercular spot present; lobes of dorsal and anal very low” (Jordan & Ever- 
mann, Proc. U. 8. Nat. Mus., X XV, p. 338). 
The gill-rakers, few in number and very short, especially on anterior part of 
lower limb, are characteristic of the species. 
ULUA Jordan and Snyder, gen. nov. 
(Type Ulua richardsoni Jordan and Snyder.) 
This genus resembles the subgenus Citwla in Carane, differing in the larger, 
oblique mouth, and especially in the very long gill-rakers, which cause the mouth 
to appear, when opened, as if full of feathers. ‘The name Ulua is Polynesian, being 
applied to the finest food-fish of Hawaii and Samoa, belonging to this group. Car- 
anx forsteri Cuv. and Val.

(Plate LIII.). 
Head 3% in length to base of caudal; depth 24; depth caudal peduncle 6% in 
head; eye 44%; snout 3; width interorbital space 83; dorsal VIJ—21; anal III- 
16; pores in lateral line about 90.
