PACIFIC FRESH WATER FISHES. 265 



7. Dormitator maculatus (Bloch.) Pargeta, La 

 Pajeque. 



Nine specimens, 2% to 4^ in. long, from Rio San Jose, 

 San Jose del Cabo. 



Head 3^, depth 3^ in length. Dorsal VII -I, 8; 

 anal I, 9. According to Dr. Eisen, the spot in front of 

 the pectoral is blue in life. 



8. Eleotris pictus (Kner & Steindachner). (Eleotris 

 ceqaidens Jordan & Gilbert.) 



Eight specimens, 3 to 14 in. long, from fresh water at 

 San Jose del Cabo. They agree with the original de- 

 scription by Jordan & Gilbert, except in minor details. 



Head 3 to 3^3 in length; maxillary 2)A to 2^ in head; 

 scales 61 to 68, 25 or 26 in an oblique series downward 

 and backward from the origin of the dorsal. Eye 2 to 

 2^ in interorbital width, the latter in a specimen 14 in. 

 long. No conspicuous knobs at upper anterior and pos- 

 terior margins of orbit; if such were conspicuous in the 

 types, they were probably due to shrivelling. Preoper- 

 cular spine covered by the skin. 



Dr. Gilbert informs me that Eleotris cequideus, of which 

 species he has specimens from Panama, is identical with 

 the form earlier known as Eleotris Rictus. 



9. Awaous taiasica (Lichtenstein). La Pujeque, Mu- 

 chura. 



Six specimens, 2% to 3^ in. long, from Rio San Jose, 

 San Jose del Cabo. 



Dorsal VI— I, 10, the first ray of the second dorsal 

 being unsegmented; eye 4^ to 5 in head. The anterior 

 profile of the head is much curved, as is the case with 

 smaller specimens from Mazatlan.
