XI. — Additions to the Ichthyological Fauna of the Ber- 

 mudas, FROM THE Collections of the Yale Expedition of 1898. 

 By Samuel Garman. 



Three species are represented by the fishes sent me for identifica- 

 tion. One of them is a Labroid that is common along the coast of 

 Florida and among the West Indies ; its occurrence in the Bermuda 

 waters has been noted by Goode and Bean. The second is a Gobroid 

 of which the habitat has heretofore been undetermined. The fact that 

 the type locality is unknown gives the more importance to the speci- 

 men in the present collection. The third species is aBrotuloid which 

 has a close ally in one from the Florida Keys, and in another from 

 the coasts of Lower California. Though the differences are slight, 

 they are such as to make it necessary to describe and name the Ber- 

 mudan form as a new species. The following are the species as 

 determined. They were all taken in shallow water, by the dredge. 



Platyglossus bivittatus Bloch, 1791. 



D. 20; A. 15; V. 6; P. 12; LI. 26; Ltr. 2 + 1 + 7-8. 



The specimen examined has a total length of 0.064, length of 

 head 0.0165, length from snout to dorsal 0165, length from snout 

 to anal 0.0295, length from snout to caudal 0.052, length of eye 

 0.004, and length of snout 0.004 metres. This species was placed in 

 Choerojulis by Goode and Bean and in Iridio by Jordan and 

 Evermann. 



Hab. Florida and the West Indies to northern South America 

 and to the Bermudas. Bailey Bay, 4-6 fathoms. — (A. E. V.) 



Gobius stigmaturus Goode and Bean, 1882. 

 D. 6 + 12; 13; LI. 33; Ltr. 10. 



Entire length 0.042, length of head 0.008, distance from snout to 

 dorsal 0.012, distance from snout to anal 0.0175, length of caudal fin 

 0.01 J, and length of eye 0.003 metres. 



Hab. Bermuda Islands. Off Bailey Bay, 4-6 fathoms. 



This capture makes it appear very likely that the type from which 

 the original description was secured was taken in the same locality 

 rather than in the West Indies.
