FISHES FROM JAPAN. 



No scales ; a scries of pores on the side high, concurrent with back, 

 posteriorly it is broadly curved downward and runs along middle of 

 body. 



Colour in formalin light brown, with profusely scattered dark spots ; 

 all the fins pale, without markings. 



The species is allied to Carapus kagoshimanus (Steindachner & 

 Döderlein), but differs from this in having smaller vomerine teeth, 

 higher vertical fins, smaller pectorals and in the position of the inser- 

 tion of anal ; moreover the marking is very distinct from that of 

 Cara pus kagoshimanus . 



The species is often taken from the cloaca of littoral large Holo- 

 thurians in Sagami Sea. I have before me 9' specimens, all collected 

 by Mr. Aoki in iyo8 ; one of them serves as the type under Mus.
