THIS species differs from the generality of the 

 Gobies by its more elongated form, approaching in 

 some degree to that of an eel : the dorsal fin is 

 single, and reaches nearly to the tail, the vent fin 

 being equally extended in the opposite direction : 

 the pectoral fins are very small and rounded : the 

 skin of the body is smooth and slippery ; the colour 

 pale brown, and all the fins red. Native of the 

 Chinese coasts. The dorsal fin has fifty-two rays, 

 the pectoral fins twelve, the ventral ten, the anal 

 forty-three, and the tail twelve.
