Caudal rays long, the branches can not be measured owing to the bad state of preservation. Three dorsal caruncles perforated at tip, at a short distance in front of dorsal rays ; the median caruncle largest, at about one-fifth head length in front of the insertion of dorsal; lateral caruncle about one-third the median in size and slightly more advanced. Skin covered throughout with fine shagreen ; eyes and the groove for the cephalic tentacle are the only naked areas of the body surface. Color in formalin jet-black ; all fins and appendages, inner surface of mouth and gill-opening similarly colored. Terminal fringe of cephalic tentacle whitish, bulb blackish. The type (No. 21251, Alan Owston’s Collection) is the only specimen known. It is 44 cm. long as measured from tip of snout to that of the longest caudal rays.

Photophores :—The photophores of this species are like those of Scopelus

two, the upper of which is above second pectoral photophore counting downward from
above, the row of these photophores being directed backward and downward; ventrals
six, forming a strongly curved row; mediolaterals three, forming a backwardly directed
convex row ; superanals ten, forming a series above anal, the posteriormost one
lying higher than the others; posteroanals eight, in a horizontal series behind anal ;
posterolaterals two, placed horizontally beneath the lateral line, of which the posterior
one lies slightly before adipose fin; precaudals three, of which the posteriormost one
lies immediately beneath the lateral line. Three glandular whitish spots on back
before base of caudal, and two others on the root of lower rudimentary caudal rays ;
a small luminous streak directly above eye; still another luminous patch on the
middle part of interorbital; luminous parts before and behind eye fainter than in
allied species.
Color in formalin jet black ; all the fins black.

Erratum to vol. II. (Issued Oct. 15, 1911.)
There is now no doubt that Hemzrhamphus elongaius described as new in vol. II
(p. 22) of this monograph 1s identical with Lz/eptorhamphus longirostris (Cuvier), as
suggested by President David Starr Jordan of Stanford University and Mr. David G.
Stead, naturalist to the Board of Fisheries for New South Wales, to both of whom I
am deeply obliged. The name and synonyms must therefore be corrected as
follows :—

To-zayori.
FHlemirhamphus longtrostoris Cuvier, Régne, Animal, 2nd ed., II, 1829, p. 235 -

of upper. Dorsal inserted much nearer to base of caudal than to that of pectoral;
anal inserted behind origin of dorsal; both fins small, similar to each other in form,

margin; caudal rather large, its posterior margin subtruncate. Body covered with

Color in spirits light reddish yellow; four reddish brown cross bands wider than
diameter of eye, of which first one lies across occiput ending near posterior rim of
eye; the second across back about midway between eye and insertion of dorsal,
running forward and downward, and fading out near axil of pectoral, this again
appears at the posterior end of base of pectoral, running some distance backward and
downward, and disappears abruptly; the third in front of dorsal going on downward
and forward disappears nearly in level with end of the second band; the fourth form-
ing a saddle above the caudal peduncle runs a short distance downward and forward
in a more pronouncedly oblique direction. four narrow short bands radiate backward
from posterior rim of eye. Body with reticulation of pale color, this being most dis-
tinct on the head on account of the brownish ground color. Anterior part of base of

rather large, cycloid; lateral line decurved, continuous to base of caudal.
Color in formalin dark brown, pale below; each scale with a dark central portion

between adjacent rays and near edges of fin rays; anal light dusky; caudal more
dusky, the two fins without markings; pectorals and ventrals slightly dusky, with

or palatines ; no barbel about mouth; gill-openings small, in a level with eye, oper-
cular flap slightly pointed. Two dorsals well separated, the first rather hidden in the
skin. Ventral disk rather large, much longer than wide, its length 12 in the length
of head measured as above. Body thickly covered with large tubercles which are armed
with small projections on the sides and base ; interspaces between the tubercles very
narrow and entirely naked ; largest tubercles on the sides of body above pectoral ; those
on head much smaller, and those on chin and caudal peduncle still smaller; narrow
posterior part of head, axil of pectoral, and small space immediately posterior to the
ventral disk entirely free from tubercles ; basal part of all the fins with a few small
tubercles. Color dark reddish yellow, paler below; all the fins pale.
Described and figured from a dried specimen 9.2 cm. long as measured to tip of
caudal, obtained about Niigata, Prov. Echigo, by Mr. Yamaguchi.
Cyclolumpus, the new genus with Cyclolumpus asperrimuts as type is defined as
follows :
Body somewhat oblong, closely covered with large tubercles all over except fins,
narrow posterior part of head, axil of pectoral etc.; ventral disk smaller than in Ay7-
crotremus, a Closely allied genus.

Eleotris.
Color in formalin blackish brown, lighter below; several narrow longitudinal,
darker bands faintly visible; no distintt lines running from eye; dorsals and anal
paler, each with several rows of backish spots’and pale free margin ; pectoral and caudal
pale, each with numerous vertical rows of blackish spots ; ventral dusky, with cross
rows of faint blackish spots.
Described and figured from a specimen 20.5 cm. long as measured to tip of caudal,
taken in River Tansui near Taihoku, Formosa, by Mr. Akamatsu.
The species is closely allied to Eleotris oxycephala (Temminck and Schlegel), but
differs from it in having a much more robust body and head, much smaller scales,
much more convex interorbital, and in having more scales in transverse series.
