175. CTENOGOBIUS PLATYCEPHALUS (Richardson). 



Five spet'inien.s from Kotosho; oik^ from Taihoku; one larg-er one, 

 No. 348, from Formosa, F. I. 



This species much resembles Cte/ioyohius ghiris, but the scales 

 before the dorsal are much larger. It is allied to Glossogobms hriin- 

 neus, but differs in the characters called generic in Glossogohius, hax- 

 ing the tongue not emarginate, and the isthmus broad. The name 

 Glossogohliis refers to the emarginate tongue. 



We identif}' our specimens with Kichai'dson's description of G<)h!}i)< 

 phdyceplMlns with some doubt, as the original account is very incom- 

 plete. So far as it goes, however, it agrees with our specimens.
