In this paper are given notes on, or descriptions of, some interesting or rare fishes, including one new genus and three new species from Japan, the Ryukyus and Pescadores (Formosa Strait.) The specimens observed are deposited in the Zoological Institute, Faculty of Science, University of Tokyo, or in the Biological Laboratory, Imperial Household.
Before going farther, the author wishes to express his hearty thanks to His Majesty the Emperor of Japan, who has willingly lent him the specimens of Pseudocepola taeniosoma KAMOHARA and Osbeckia scripta (LINNÉ) and the holotype of Mars auropunctatus n. sp.; all these specimens were collected by His Majesty himself from the eastern part of Sagami Bay. The author is indebted to Mr. Masao YOSHIDA of the Misaki Marine Biological Station for his assistance in examining the sexual differences in Monacanthus cirrhifer TEMMINCK et SCHLEGEL, and to Mr. Tsugio SAITO of the Imperial Household, who was kind enough to take the photographs of the specimens of the same species. The author is much obliged to Dr. Jean Clark DAN for her kindness in correcting the English of the manuscript.
