not seem to differ in any way from one from California, with 

 which I have compared them. 



15. Symphurus atramentatus. 



Lobos de Tierra, 5 to 8 fathoms. 



Previously known from specimens dredged off the coast of 

 Colombia. 



16. Remora remora, Linn. 



17. Remora clypeata, Giinth. 



This species is represented in the British Museum collec- 

 tion by examples from the Cape and from Muscat ; it does 

 not seem to have been recorded from Peruvian waters ; two 

 examples, together with one of the preceding species, were 

 taken from a large ray at Lobos de Tierra. 



18. Gobiesox zebra, Jord. & Gilb. 



I have compared specimens from the rock-pools of Lobos 

 de Tierra with one from Mazatlan, and they seem to be the 

 same species. 



19. Chirolophius forbesii, sp. n. 



Head longer than broad, about j the length of the fish. 

 Diameter of eye 6 in length of head, less than length of 

 snout or than interorbital width. Teeth in lower jaw in 

 about 3 series ; 2 teeth on each side of vomer. Nasal sacs 

 small. A pair of divergent spines on each side of snout ; 

 each supraorbital ridge bearing two spines ; humeral spine 

 bifid posteriorly and with an outwardly directed process ante- 

 riorly. First ray of spinous dorsal less than | length of 

 head, with terminal flap * ; second and third as long, fringed ; 

 fourth, fifth, and sixth well developed, the fourth almost 

 free, the fifth and sixth connected by membrane basally. 

 Soft dorsal with 8 rays, anal witli 6, pectoral with 18. 

 Lower surface of pectoral with blackish edge ; distal half of 

 anal and caudal blackish ; caudal crossed by a row of pearl- 

 like white spots, one on each ray ; anal with one or two 

 similar spots. 



A single specimen, 170 mm. in total length, from Lobos 

 de Tierra, at a depth of 8 to 10 fathoms. 



* This ray looks as though it had been broken off and the flap regene- 

 rated ; perhaps it would be longer in a normal specimen.
