lates^ and may be suppressed. The genus Dormitator is best distin- 
guished from FAeotris by the numerous long, lamelliform appendages of 
the narrow lower irharyngeal bones. In Philypnus, Culius^ and Eleotris 
the bones are broader, and without appendages.

This genus is distingnished from Eleotris by the presence of a stout 
hook-like spine, directed downwards and forwards, near the angle of 
the preopercle. Gill-openings extended forwards. Teeth fixed. Spe- 
cies rather numerous in brackish and fresh waters of tropical regions.

Dull olivaceous; everywhere dusted with dark points; finely barred 
with paler; a black streak from eye to upper edge of gill-opening; a 
Idackish spot above base of pectoral. Form of Eleotris gyrimts. Max- 
illary reaching middle of eye, 2| in head ; teeth of the inner series in 
each jaw largest. Scales larger than in other species of the genus.
