  Tripterygion 
  Risso. 
  

   (Risso, 
  Europe 
  Mendion. 
  1826,111,241; 
  type 
  Blennius 
  tripteronotm 
  Risso.) 
  This 
  

   genus 
  is 
  allied 
  to 
  Clinus 
  , 
  differing 
  chiefly 
  in 
  the 
  division 
  of 
  the 
  dorsal 
  fin 
  into 
  three 
  

   nearly 
  or 
  quite 
  separate 
  fins, 
  the 
  anterior 
  of 
  3 
  to 
  6 
  spines, 
  the 
  median 
  one 
  of 
  many 
  

   spines 
  and 
  the 
  last 
  of 
  many 
  soft 
  rays. 
  Warm 
  seas 
  in 
  tide-pools.
