204. Clevelandia ios (Jordan and Gilbert). 



(Clevelandia rosa' Jordan and Evermann, 1898, III, p. 2254, fig. 

 793 (poor). See Gilbert, 1904, p. 263, for synonomy and 

 discussion of species.) 



This species is very abundant in all parts of San Diego and 

 Newport bays. The young in great numbers are left by the tide 

 in pools in the sand. It may be known from the other closely re- 

 lated gobies found with it by its uniform light sand color dusted 

 over with black, its more slender body, and three or four papillae 

 on the inner edge of its shoulder girdle. These papillae do not 

 resemble the long finger-like flaps found on the shoulder girdle of 

 Ilypnus gilberti and Quietula y-cauda. From Ilypnus gilberti, 

 which it resembles most closely in size, coloration, and in having 

 the occipital region transversely smooth and rounded, it may be 

 readily distinguished by the absence of a metallic spot on the 

 opercle ; the body is a littel more slender and cylindrical and the 

 dorsals are usually a little farther apart. 



Dorsal IV or V very rarely VI, 15 or 16, rarely 17 ; anal 15 

 or 16. 



This species is found from Vancouver Island to San Diego 

 Bay; abundant southward. It was originally described from a 

 specimen found in the stomach of Hcragrammos asper at Van- 

 couver Island. 



205. Typhlogobius calif orniensis Steindachuer. 



BLIND GOBY. 



(Jordan and Evermann, 1898, III, p. 2262, fig. 795.) 



This species is rather abundant in a small area, extending one 

 or two hundred yards along the shore of the bay side of Point 

 Loma, where it lives under the rocks in holes and runways made 

 by Crustacea. One specimen seen swimming slowly over the bot- 

 tom of a small, clear rock pool in the bright sunlight on the ocean 

 side of Point Loma, near the outer lighthouse. Dr. Ritter reports 

 this fish common at Point Firmin, living there as at Point Loma.
