This goby, which was originally credited to the Pacific Ocean, 

 appears to be a common element of the West Indian fauna, having 

 been found among the Florida Keys, in the Bahamas, and, recently, 

 in Bermuda. Dr. Eigenmann examined 4 specimens from the 

 Tortugas, Mr. Barton A. Bean reported 25 individuals obtained in a 

 dredge in five fathoms of water off Governor's Harbor, Eleuthera 

 Id., and the Field Museum Expedition to Bermuda in 1905 secured 

 five examples at Cooper's Id. and Ely's Harbor in the shallows under 

 rocks. These specimens range from 2>^ to 2% inches. The blue 

 line across the cheek, so characteristic during life,- has entirely disap-

 reported the fish common on the shoals near Cooper's Id.
