Oopu 



116-8 Gnatholepis anjeremis (Bleeker) 



From Jordan & Evermann 



This goby varies from an olive green to flesh color or tan and is 

 marked with mottlings on the side. It reaches a length of about two 

 inches. This fish lives on salt water mud flats and in brackish water. 



It is distributed throughout the East Indies, New Caledonia, Polynesia, 

 Wake, Guam, and the Hawaiian Islands. 



Goby 



116-9 Kelloggella oligolepis (Jenkins) 



From Jordan & Evermann 



This goby is dark in color and is marked with several light cross 

 stripes. One of the smallest of the gobies, it measures only about one inch 

 in length. 



This fish lives in the salt water pot holes which are filled by spray 

 from the waves. It swims from place to place by means of short, jerky 

 leaps. It clings to the rocks until the wave has passed and then rises to 

 the surface to see what has been washed into the pool; it then settles to 

 the bottom of the pool. 



This fish is reported from the Hawaiian Islands and Easter Island. It 

 is probably much more widely distributed.
