 higher than soft rays; caudal long, the middle rays scarcely shorter 

 than head; longest anal rays 1^ in head; pectoral little more than half 

 head. Scales moderate. Head 3]-; depth 4f. D. 25; A. 15; Lat. I.

Page G32. Dormitator lineatus is apparently identical with I), macu- 

 latvs, and may be suppressed. The genus Dormitator is best distin- 

 guished from FAeotris by the numerous long, lamelliform appendages of 

 the narrow lower pharyngeal bones. In Philypnus, Culius, and Uleotru 

 the bones are broader, and without appendages.

This genus is distinguished 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. 

 (Xame of Indian origin.)

Dull olivaceous; everywhere dusted with dark points; finely barred 

 with paler; a black streak from eye to upper edge of gill-oi)ening; a 

 blackish spot above base of pectoral. Form of Eleotris gyrimis. Max- 

 illary reaching middle of eye, 2a in head; teeth of the inner series in 

 each jaw largest. Scales larger than in other species of the genus. 

 Head 3f; depth 5f. D. VI, 9; A. 8; Lat. 1. 48. South Carolina to 

 West Florida and Surinam.

Page 632. Gobius catulus Grd. proves to be a true GoMus, and is 

 identical with Gobius soporator. It should, therefore, be erased. The 

 upper rays of the pectoral are silk-like. Head 3^; depth 4^V. J). 

 VI-10; A. I, 9; Lat. 1. 33 to 38; 12 rows between dorsal and anal. It 

 is very abundant about rocks and ballast heaps from Florida to Texas.
