60. Qobiosoma multifasciatum Steiudrtcimer. 



Gobius lineatus Poey. Mem. de Ciiba, ii., 392. 1860. 



West Ind'ao fauna. 



No. 13,317, one specimen. St. Thomas; Hassler Expedition. 



This specimen, seven-eighths of an inch long, agrees

 Poej's description agrees with the specimen before us. As 

 the combination, Gobius lineatus, has been used before, we 

 have retained Steindachuer's name.
