on its basal portion, and tliere is no marginal band. A specimen 8G mm. 

 long is very similar to the one illustrated, but the dark margins of the 

 cross-bands have disappeared ; the caudal has three dai'k spots, and the 

 soft dorsal has a dark median stripe above which ai'e numerous rounded 

 light spots in addition to the markings illustrated ; the anal has a dark 

 longitudinal stripe with light spots on each side of it, and a grey border. 

 The largest example is very dark brown, which colour obscures most of 

 the other marking; the pectoral and caudal ai-e light, but the latter has a 

 broad brown margin, and an inner dusky area with light spots. 



A second series of nine specimens from the New Hebrides, 33-115 

 mm. long, exhibits a precisely similar range of variation.

The very brief description of this species suggests that it is an 

 Amblij gohius, and is perhaps identical with G. hynoensis.
