18. SURUGA Jordan and Snyder. 
Sirnii/a Jukdax and Sxydek, new genus (fimdicola) . 
Body nioderately elongate, covered with rather large, finely ctenoid 
deciduous scales; head large, not depressed; the interorbital space 
very narrow; eyes very large, longer than the short, blunt snout: 
cheeks scaleless; ni(nith rather large, very oblique; the chin ])roini- 
nent; teeth rather strong; tongue not notched; isthmus ))road, the gill 
openings not continued forward below; tins all low; dorsal of eight 
spines and IT to 20 rays; pectorals modearte, without silk-like rays; 
ventrals well developed. 
Small plainly colored gobies inhabiting considerable depths in the 
sandy bays; allied to Ahonuu but with the long soft dorsal and anal of 
AcantJto(joh!ii.s, and ha^'ing the eyes larger than in any of the shore 
species.

38. SURUGA FUNDICOLA Jordan and Snyder, new species. 
Head 3f in length; depth 5^; depth of caudal peduncle 8f in head; 
eye 2|; snout 4; maxillary 2i; 1). Vlil-lS; A. 16; P. 21; scales in 
lateral series about 41, in transverse series a])out 12. 
Head deeper and broader than body. Eye notably large; directed 
obliquely upward; interorbital space very narrow, the e3"es nearly 
meeting al)Ove. Snout short; its length about equal to distance from 
anterior edge of orbit to posterior edge of pupil. Mouth large; 
oblique. Maxillary concealed except at its posterior end, extending 
to a ^'ertical through pupil. Jaws equal. Teeth in narrow bands on 
both jaws, not close-set. simple; tho.se of outer series of upper jaw 
much enlarged; the corresponding ones of lower jaw slightly enlarged. 
Tongue thick, rather broad, round anteriorly. Gill openings broad
