Dr. A. Giinther on two new Fishes from Sarawak. 265 
amounts now to about 340, which is evidently only a fraction 
of the number actually existing in this island. 
Two of the species were desiderata for the British Museum 
Collection, viz. Synanceta asteroblepa (Richards.) and Apo- 
eryptes borneensis (Blkr.); and the following appear to be new 
to science :— 
Gobius Dorie. Pl. XII. fig. A. 
6). A, 8. G. lat. 27. 
Head broad, depressed, rather broader than deep; it is 
naked, as is the nape and the lower part of the thorax; there 
are only a few scales on the hind part of the gill-cover. Sides 
of the head with several series of pores. The length of the 
head is contained thrice in the total length (without caudal), the 
heightof the body thrice and two-thirds. Snout broad, depressed, 
shorter than the eye, which is two-sevenths of the length of 
the head. Cleft of the mouth wide, extending beyond the 
front margin of the eye. Canine teeth none. Interorbital 
space flat, broad. ‘There are ten longitudinal series of scales 
between the origins of the second dorsal and anal. Scales not 
serrated. Fins low and short. Brownish black, encircled by 
three broad yellowish bands—the first round the nape and 
opercle, the second corresponding to the space between the 
two dorsal fins, the third on the caudal peduncle. Caudal fin 
yellowish, with the base deep black. 
I have named this very fine species after its discoverer. 
Three examples, 15 lines long, are in the collection. 
Eleotris dasyrhynchus. Pl. XII. fig. B. 
D.6|9. A.8. L. lat. 29. 
Head very broad and depressed, cheeks swollen, the greatest 
width of the head being equal to its length, without snout. The 
-gill-covers andthe upper partof thecheek are scaly, the remainder 
of the head naked. The preorbital and the supraorbital ridge 
are beset with rough prominences or spines. The length of 
the head is contained thrice and one-third in the total length 
(without caudal), the height of the body four times and three- 
quarters. Snout very broad and depressed. Eyes exceed- 
ingly small, directed upwards, separated by a broad flat space. 
Teeth small, in a band, those of the outer series being a little 
larger ; palate toothless. Mouth wide, the maxillary reaching 
_ behind the orbit. Preeoperculum without spine. Scales cte- 
noid; there are eight longitudinal series between the origins 
of the second dorsal and anal fins. The posterior part of the 
second dorsal and anal are slightly elevated; caudal rounded,
