GLOSSOGOBIUS BIOCELLATUS (Valenciennes) 



Gohius hioceUatiis Vaixnciennes, in Cuvier and Valenciennes, Histoire naturelle 



des poissons, vol. 12, p. 73, 1837. 

 OlossoyoMus vaisiga7iis Jordan and Seai.e, Bull. U. S. Bur. Fish., vol. 22 (1905), 



p. 403, 1906. 



116120, Tutuila Island, stream at village of Pago Pago, June 2, 1939, 

 1 specimen. 



51774 (type and paratype of G. vaisifjanis Jordan and Seale), Vaisigano 

 River, Apia, Samoa, Jordan and Kellogg. 



51782 (type and paratype of Rhinogohius mnscarum Jordan and Seale), Pago 

 Pago, Samoa, Jordan and Kellogg. 



Much to my surprise, I find the gill membranes of R. mvscarum 

 Jordan and Seale {loc. cit., p. 401), attached far forward and with a 

 free fold across the isthmus. Jordan and Scale's figure 90 has the 

 lower jaw too short, for it is almost as long as the upper, on the 

 type, now in poor condition. Thus I must refer these small types 

 to the synonymy of G. hiocellatus.
