A CATALOG OF THE FISHES OF THE ISLAND OF FORMOSA, OR 
TAIWAN, BASED ON THE COLLECTIONS OF DR. 
HANS SAUTER. 
By Davin Srarr JorpAN AND Ropert EARL RicHARDSON. 
In the year 1906 a large collection of the market-fishes of the island of For- 
mosa was made by Dr. Hans Sauter. These were sent to the writers for identifica- 
tion, and were at’our suggestion purchased by the Carnegie Museum, in which they 
are now preserved. A number of duplicates have been presented to the Museum of 
Stanford University in California. 
This collection was obtained in the port of Takao, or Takow, on the south- 
western coast of the island of Formosa, called in Japanese Taiwan. It is in excel-. 
lent condition, and gives a good representation of the market-fishes of Formosa. 
For the sake of completeness we have included in this list the fishes recorded 
by Jordan and Evermann in a paper entitled ‘“ Notes on a Collection of Fishes 
from the Island of Formosa” (Proceedings U. 8. National Museum, Vol. XXV, 
1902, pp. 815-368), and also the species recorded by Gtinther, Regan, and others, 
which are preserved in the British Museum. 
We desire to acknowledge the courtesy of the authorities of the United States 
National Museum, who have permitted us herewith to reproduce the figures of 
those species, which were given in the paper referred to above. The plates accom- 
panying this article were drawn by Mr. William Sackston Atkinson. 
The following species are here described as new to science : - 
Pristiwrus sautert, Scolopsis eriomma, 
Raja holland, Pseudotolithus brunneolus, 
Leptocephalus ectenwrus, Hemipteronotus evides, 
Ophichthus evermanna, Glossogobius abacopus, 
Gymnothorax leucostigma.
