A New Ateleopodid Fish from the Sagami Sea 



(IjIMAIA nOFLEINI X. SP.). 



BY 



Hans Sauler, Yokohama. 

 On the 13th of April, 1905, Mr. Ovvsr on obtained an Ateleopodid fish 

 of an unusually large size, which was taken off Enoshima in the Sagami Sea. 

 Though exhibiting the most important characters of the Ateleopodidae, 

 it could be distinguished at once from the two species hitherto known 

 of that family by the subterminal mouth, the short ventrals and the pec- 

 torals marked with a large white spot 



/limata de fie ini n. sp. 

 (The scale inserted in the figure is 10 en. long, one division'being equal to t cm.) 



I feel indebted very much to Mr. Owsion for permission to describe 

 this exceedingly interesting form 



Ateleopodidae. 



I am using the old family name Ateleopodidae instead of Podatelidae 

 proposed by Boulenger, as I think the name Ateleopus (Schlegel 1846),
