LEIICISCINAE. 
Fusania ensarca Jordan and vStarks. 
Head ; depth 3| ; 1). 11, 7; A. iii, 7; P. i , q; V. i, 6; scales 27 in median 
lateral series from gill-opening to middle of caudal base and 3 more in latter; lateral 
line only as 5 tubes in first 5 scales, evidently well decurved ; g scales transversely 
between dorsal and anal; 14 predorsal scales ; snout in head measured from upper 
jaw tip ; eye 3| ; maxillary 3 ; interorbital 3. 
Body compressed, moderately long, deepest at dorsal origin, edges all convexly 
rounded, except postventral which has slight median keel. Caudal peduncle well 
compressed, least depth its length or 2f in total head length. 
Head compressed, width half its length. Snout short, less than eye, length 
about I its width. Eye with hind edge little behind middle in head length. Mouth 
terminal, lower jaw little protruded. Maxillary slender, reaches below front eye 
edge. No barbels. Nostrils together, close before upper front e3'e edge, hind one in 
slight crescent. Interorbital convex. Suborbitals narrow, leave cheek well exposed. 
Opercle smooth. 
Gill-opening extends forward opposite hind edge of preopercle. Gill- rakers 
2 -j- 8, lanceolate, slender, little less than gill-filaments. Pharyngeal teeth 1,3,5-- 
4, 3, o, hooked and apparently with slight grinding surfaces, edges entire. 
Scales large, in even longitudinal rows, little smaller on breast and caudal base ; 
with 5 to 7 apical radiating striae; circuli coarse, about 25. 
Dorsal origin well behind ventral origin or about midway between hind pupil 
edge and caudal base; first branched ray i| in head. Anal inserted little behind 
dorsal base or much nearer ventral origin than caudal base. Caudal well emargin- 
ated; ij ? in head. Pectoral not quite reaching ventral, if in head. Ventral not 
reaching anal, if in head. 
Pale brownish generally. Eeaden longitudinal band concurrent with vertebral 
column, not ending in dark spot, though much darker in hind part of its course. 
Peritoneum shows through abdominal wall dull leaden-gray. Iris and sides of head 
with silvery tints. Fins all pale. One example, 30 mm. 
The above agrees with the original account in most respects, except that it 
shows distinctly the presence of 3 rows of pharyngeal teeth. The slight median post- 
ventral keel is not mentioned by Jordan and Starks. Tiiis character suggests that 
Phoxiscus kikiichii Oshima ' is synonymous. Doubtless its more developed lateral 
line is that of slightly older growth. Phoxiscus therefore becomes a synonym of 
Fusania. 
Georgichthys scaphignathus Nichols. 
Head 4^ ; depth 3I; D. 11, 7 ; A. 11, 6; scales 37 in lateral line to caudal base and 
3 more in latter; 6 scales above lateral line, 6 below ; 14 predorsal scales; head width 
i|; snout if; eye 3f ; maxillary 3I; interorbital 2. Four deep brown broad blotches
