| JORDAN AND RICHARDSON: FISHES OF THE ISLAND OF FORMOSA 203 
rudiment directed upward, besides the hook at tip, and a sharp spine projecting 
| forward from its base ; occipital region weakly rugose ; gill-opening about one-fourth 
diameter of eye, about equidistant between back of eye and origin of dorsal. 
Spinous dorsal inserted midway between back of eye and origin of soft dorsal ; first 
and fourth dorsal spines longest, the first (specimens females) 23 in head ; height of f 
soft dorsal at its middle about one-third length of head; last ray elongated, about } 
+ in head; anal beginning a little behind second ray of soft dorsal; last ray of 
anal 2% in head; pectoral 14 in head, its median rays longest; ventrals reach- 
ing past origin of anal; caudal as long as head, its middle rays not produced ; 
caudal peduncle depressed ; lateral line single. 
Color in spirits olive, rather heavily punctulated above, the punctulations on 
the back of the head and on the back as arule encircling paler areas, some of which 
are more or less confluent ; under parts pale ; spinous and soft dorsals rather faintly 
splashed and specked with dusky ; anal with a basal and a marginal row of brown 
blotches, the basal row smallest ; ventrals dusky, brown-dotted on inner two-thirds ; 
upper pectoral rays with dark specks. 
Described from two specimens from Takao, two and one-half to three inches 
long, probably females. 
This species is near and perhaps not different from Callionymus schaapti Bleeker 
described with dorsal [V-10, anal 10, six processes on preopercular spine, and with 
ventrals and anal black-edged. ‘There is no point in which our species clearlys 
differs from the scanty account given by Bleeker, whose specimen was from Banka.
