ADDENDA 104. GOBlIDvE LEPIDOGOBIUS. 945 



Professor Gill informs us that one of the species of Gobius described 

 by Girard from Texas is, however, undoubtedly a true Evortliodus. As 

 all of these species, except G. wilrdemanni, have now been accounted 

 for, the latter species may be provisionally referred to Evortliodus. 



Page 633. No. 983, Euctenogobius lyricus is a marine species, found 

 along the coast of Texas. The genus Euctenogobius intergrades with 

 Gobius and can hardly be retained.

Page 634. Gobius carolinensis Gill is indistinguishable from Gobius 

 soporator, and may be suppressed. Gobius mapo Poey (Mem. Cuba, ii, 

 277), seems to be the same species. 



Page 634. Gobius gulosus Grd. is a species of Lepidogobius, and should 

 be transferred to page 638, after L. newberrii. It may be thus defined :
