xtraliy Sniorbull, or, two-rayed goby, Sw.), which may In- 

 distinguished at once from any other species In tin- an- 

 terior dorsal fin with two rays only, and by the posterior 

 dorsal as well us the anal fin having twenty level rays. 

 Of this fish several specimens have been taken, in summer 

 as well as in winter, oil' the west coast of Norway, in some 

 thirty fathoms water. When brought up (in a sort of 

 trawl-net), they were found embedded in the stalks of 

 Tuny (Fiicus), or in the empty nests of the CV/<r/V>/>/V/m- 

 Norvegicus. Their length was 1^ to \\ indies, and from 

 appearance they were very young, full-grown specimens 

 not having as yet been captured. 



6. Gobius Stuvitzii, von Diiben & Korean (/> 'ni-sfruliy 

 Smorbtili, or, five-rayed goby, Sw.), is perhaps identical 

 with the White Goby (G. albus, Parn., Ynrr.), though 

 M. Malm is of a different opinion. M. Stuvitz obtained 

 several of these fish near Bergen, in the month of Decem- 

 ber; they were 1 to If inches in length, and, from their 

 bodies being quite transparent, there was every reason to 

 believe that they were very young. Irregular rows of 

 dark spots were noticeable on the bodies of this, as well 

 as the last-mentioned species. 



7. Gobhtfi nUnis, Parnell, Van-ell, has been found by 

 M. Malm, he says, in the Bohus Bk&rgftrd. 



8. Gobi UN /lir/trx, Malm. Of this fish specimens 

 have been taken, in 1852 and 1801, on both occasions 

 in the Bohus Skargard by M. .Malm, who describes it as 

 nearly allied to G. mitnifm. 



Kroyer admits but three of the above-named species in 

 the Danish fauna, viz., the G. ///'////-. the <i. Iliillii-iinpiirri, 

 and the .'/./////////; but he has added one of his o\\ 11 

 (G. intern/)*, Kroy.), which is, IIO\VCV<M-. founded on a 

 single specimen, and which, he says, stands in close rela- 

 tion to the (! . ninnitiix.
