Japanese Fishes and Nomen-clature

Abstract

THE latest part of the Journal of the College of Science in the Imperial University of Japan (vol. xxxiii., article 1, March, 1913) is a catalogue of the fishes of Japan, by David Starr Jordan, Shigeho Tanaka, and John Otterbein Snyder. It consists of 497 pages, and has 396 figures in the text. There is a very excellent index, and the volume is one which is likely to be of considerable assistance to ichthyologists. The list is based on the work of Temminck and Schlegel (1848 to 1850), on the collections made by David Starr Jordan in 1900. the collections of Snyder (1906), and the collections in the Imperial University of Japan, and the Imperial Museum at Tokyo. It includes all records of Japanese fishes made up to February 1,1913
