Some scholars have considered them to be a single species while others have differentiated them as two species. According to HUBBS (1925), H. olidus differs sharply 'from H. japonicus in the smaller number of the scales, there being 54 to 62 rather than 63 to 68 in the course of the lateral line. According to BERG (1932), however, H. olidus has 53 to 68 scales in the course of the lateral line, and by him H. japonicus, H. vercundus and H. olidus are referred to a single species. In consequence of the confusion in the classification of these species, as stated above, the present author has encountered difficulty in the synecological research of the pond smelt, H. olidus, which inhabits off the coast of Hokkaido, Japan. Therefore, he is faced with the urgent necessity of making a taxonomic revision of genus of Hypomesus taken from Hokkaido. As results of the present research, it was confirmed that there are differences in the size of scales, the number of vertebrae and the position of pelvic insertions between H.
