The name eristatus having been given to an Indian Goby by Dr. Day in 1873 (v. Fishes of India, 
p- 291), it became necessary to change the name of the Australian fish; and in giving it the above 
specific name I have been guided by its very strong dentition and the obliquity of its mouth, which gives 
it a strong outward resemblance to the fishes of that genus.
