JORDAN AND RICHARDSON: FISHES OF THE ISLAND OF FORMOSA 161 
Color uniform brownish on back and upper part of sides, paler below; first and 
second dorsals black on upper anterior half, white on posterior third ; upper lobe 
of caudal with a broad blackish margin ; pectorals dark brownish anteriorly above, 
whitish behind and on free margin; ventrals and anal with rather indistinct pale 
margins. 
Six specimens, twelve to fourteen inches long, from Takao. The species is 
apparently close to Parmatwrus pilosus Garman from Japan, but it seems to differ 
from the latter in the insertion of the first dorsal and in the coloration of the fins. 
We agree with Regan that Parmatwrus is not recognizably distinct from the 
European genus Pristiwrus.

5. Scoliodon walbeehmi (Bleeker). (Plate LXIII, fig. 2.) 
(Native name Soo hii, = ‘“sandfish.”) 
One specimen from Takao, thirty-five inches long to end of tail. Another 
specimen, eleven inches long, and figured by us, may represent a different species, 
having the mouth characters of S. walbeehmi, but the tail much longer. Its deserip- 
tion follows : 
Head 5 times in total length ; depth 5 in length to base of ventrals; eye 24 in 
interorbital space, which is contained 24 in head (to first gill-opening); length of 
snout from front margin of mouth equal to distance from back of orbit to second 
gill-opening; a short labial groove, equal to width of nostril, on upper jaw ; lower
