FOOD OF POST-LARVAL FISH. 44] 
BLENNIUS GALERITA L. Montacu’s Bienny. 
One specimen from the White Patch, 17 mm. long, fresh from tow- 
nettings, July, contained 5 Temora longicornis. 
BLENNIUS GATTORUGINE Buocu. 
One specimen from the west end of Breakwater, fresh from tow- 
nettings, August, contained remains of crab zoez and Crangon larve. 
GOBIUS MINUTUS Patt. 
Twenty-four specimens, from both inside and outside the Breakwater, 
from fresh tow-nettings from July to September, were examined, measur- 
ing 2to 14mm. The smallest and most of those from 4 to 5mm. con- 
tained no food, but one of 4 mm. contained remains of Copepod nauplhi 
and one of 4.5mm. contained a Temora nauplius. Those of 6mm. 
contained Copepod remains including Calanus nauplu. From 65 mm 
Pseudocalanus was eaten and was in 3 specimens, one of which (14 mm. 
long) contained 3 Pseudocalanus and 4 Temora. Another of 14mm. 
contained 3 Acartia sp. (probably A. Claus). 
The other Gobius species have not been identified. I have designated 
them Gobius sp. (a) and Gobius sp. (b). A third, very small and with 
orange and yellow pigment, contained no food. 
GOBIUS SP. (a). 
Nineteen specimens, from both inside and outside the Breakwater, 
fresh from tow-nettings, measuring 2 to 4mm., in March and April. 
Ten contained nothing, one of 3mm. contained a larval bivalve, one of 
35mm. a Balanus nauplius. One contained a Coscinodiscus and the 
remainder had green food remains in them. 
GOBIUS SP. (b). 
This is very like the larva of Gobius niger but with less pigment, and 
possibly may be G. paganellus. Nine specimens were examined from 
both inside and outside the Breakwater, in August fresh from the tow- 
nettings, measuring 11 to 13mm. Two contained no food, one the 
remains of diatoms, including Skeletonema costatum, 2 contained green 
food remains and one a Balanus nauplius. The rest contained Copepods, 
all identified bemg Temora, adult, young and nauplii.
