Garmanina paradoxa (Gtinther). 



Head 3§; depth 4§; D. VII, i, 11, i; A. i, 9, i; scales 15 in median 

 series on hind part of trunk, begin opposite origin of soft dorsal; 

 8 scales transversely between last dorsal and anal rays; snout 4 J 

 in head; eye 5^; maxillary 2\\ interorbital about 11. Gill-rakers 

 1+8 short points with broad bases, much shorter than filaments. 

 Color in alcohol pale brownish generally, scarcely paler below. 

 About 13 pairs of deeper brownish transverse bars, from back down 

 along side, and each 2 pairs placed closer to one another, and in 

 places irregularly joined. Each bar seen to be forked as a darker 

 reticulation around a paler spot or centre, also reticulations of 

 various extent. Similar dark transverse bar extends down on cheek, 

 though narrower one immediately behind eye and another on top of 

 head before gill-opening, not extending down on side of head. Iris 

 with pale circle around pupil. Ventrals blackish, edge narrowly 

 whitish. Fins all grayish, clouded or obscurely marked with darker. 

 Length 42 mm. 

 Microgobius miraflorensis Gilbert and Starks. 



One 26 mm. long. Gilbert and Starks give A. 17, though their 

 figure shows i, 10. My example lacks the cirri about the jaws they 

 represent, and at present the dark spots on the fins are much more 

 contrasted. 

 Hypsoblennius striatus (Steindachner). 



Fourteen examples, 46 to 80 mm. 



Batrachoides pacifici (Giinther). 



Two adults, 178 and 222 mm. long. Young examples differ in 

 the absence of scales.

 3; third anal ray 3|; least depth caudal peduncle 4^; caudal If;

Body moderately long, depressed forward, compressed behind, 

 convex above, flattened below, and slight median groove before
