FISHES OF PUGET SOUND. 839 



103. Lepidogobius lepidus (Girard). 



Three specimens dredged, the largest 4 inches in 

 length. 



104. Gillichthys mirabilis Cooper. Mud Fish. 



Not common this far north. Found in the mud in la- 

 goons. No specimens taken by us. 



105. Quietula y-cauda (Jenkins & Evermann). 



This little ^oby was taken in Saanich Arm, Vancouver 

 Island, by Jordan & Gilbert. One of the two specimens 

 taken from the stomach of Hexagrammus hexagrammus 

 and recorded as Gobiosoma ios belongs to it. The other 

 is the type of the latter species. This species is the type 

 of the genus Jfhiietula Jordan & Evermann, distinguished 

 from Gillichthys by the presence of dermal flaps on the 

 shoulder girdle. 



106. Clevelandia ios (Jordan & Gilbert). Plate c. 

 The original type of this species was obtained from the 



stomach of Hexagrammus hexagram nuts, in Saanich Arm, 

 by Jordan & Gilbert, in 1880. It was not in good condi- 

 tion and the description is defective. Two specimens 

 were dredged near Seattle by us. A description is here 

 appended : 



Head 3^ in length of body; depth 6; D. V-16; A. 

 14; eye 6% in head; maxillary i| ; pectoral if; ven- 

 trals i"/i ; caudal 1% ; base of soft dorsal 3 in length of 

 body; base of anal 3^2. 



Body long and slender, compressed, the back not ele- 

 vated; caudal peduncle moderately wide. Head long, 

 profile steep to within a short distance of the front of the 

 eye, thence horizontal. Mouth very large, not very ob- 

 lique, the maxillary projecting to opposite the middle of 

 the cheek; jaws subequal; teeth in narrow villiform
