 pi. 12, figs. 9, 10, appears to be closely allied to this species. 

 The first and second dorsal spines are the longest. 



Specimen 7. is from the coast of Sicily, and from Mr. GeiTard's

The height of the body is one-sixth of the total length, the length 

 of the head two-ninths. Snout obtuse, sliorter than the eye, the 

 diameter of which is one-third of the length of the head, or twice 

 the width of the intcrorbital space. Cleft of the mouth oblique, ex- 

 tending to below the anterior half of the orbit, with the lower jaw 

 rather prominent. Teeth of the outer scries largest. Scales on the 

 anterior part of the back mxich smaller than those on the body. 

 Dorsal fins not very close together, as high as the body ; the first 

 dorsal spine is the longest : the ventral fin terminates at some distance 

 from the vent. No warty stripes on the head ; cheeks naked Body 

 with narrow, darker vertical streaks ; a brown spot at the base of 

 the caudal ; dorsal fins with brownish longitudinal lines ; the other

This species js described and figured by Steindachner in Sitzgsber. 

 Wien. Acad. 1861, vol. xlii. p. 290. fig. 2. Steindachner has found 

 a small prominence above the angle of the praeoperculum, which re- 

 minds one of a similar peculiarity in Gobius oplopomus; he calls the 

 species Oplopomus notacanthus.

 D. 6 I 11. A. 9. L. lat. 14. 

 The head and the trunk are entirely naked to between the second 

 dorsal and the anal, the remainder is covered bv ctenoid scales of 

 moderate size ; there are nine or ten of them in one of the anterior 

 transverse series. The height of the body is contained five times and 

 two-thirds in the total length, the length of the head four times and a 

 quarter. Head nearly as broad as high, its width being rather more 

 than one-half of its length. Eyes rather close together, of moderate 

 size. Snout obtuse, rounded, as long as the eye ; cleft of the mouth 

 slightly oblique, with the jaws equal in length, and with |he max- 

 illary extending to below the middle of the eye. Teeth in viUiform 

 bands ; there are two curved canine teeth on each side of the lower
