Associated with many individuals of L. nuchipinnis in tide-pools 

 at Doe's Rock, Paget Parish, was found a single example of a blenny 

 resembling that common species, but differing notably in color and in 

 the length of the ventral. 



The depth of the body is Vi of the length to base of caudal ; the 

 head is nearly \'a of the same length. The pectoral reaches to the 

 vertical through the anal origin ; the ventral is ¥2 as long as the head 

 and reaches scarcely more than half way to the vent (in L. nuchipin- 

 nis the ventral almost reaches to the vent) . The eye equals the snout 

 in length and is % length of head. First dorsal spine W length of 

 head ; tenth dorsal spine % length of head ; eighteenth spine not much 

 longer than seventeenth, nearly y^ as long as the head. Anterior nos- 

 tril with a tufted barbel; posterior nostril with a very short tube; 

 hair-like filaments above the orbit and on the nape as in L. nitchi- 

 pinnis, but less developed. 



Color in spirits: Pale yellow; the sides with four or five very 

 faint irregular cross-bands of dull gray; head, especially cheeks and 

 nape, profusely sprinkled with minute dark points; pectoral with 

 about six or seven narrow, interrupted bands formed by dots on the 

 rays; caudal with about six vsimilar bands; no dark spot on front of 

 spinouts dorsal and none on opercle; soft dorsal and anal pale, mottled 

 with darker, but without evident bands. 



Length of the type, 4)^ inches (112 millimeters) to base of middle 

 r.-ni'lrtl rays,
