This fish proves to be distinct specifically from the British P. 
levis, Fl., of which I had considered it at first a mere variety. This 
correction has been recently confirmed, on a comparison of speci- 
mens, by my friend Mr. Jenyns, who finds the eyes in the Madeiran 
fish ‘“‘ more than twice the size of those of P. Jevis, Fl., not to men- 
tion other differences.”’ I am also so far satisfied as anything short 
of an inspection of their specimens can warrant, that Bl. trigloides 
of MM. Cuvier and Valenciennes, which even by their own show- 
ing* is misplaced in their genus Blennius, is founded, at least in 
part}, on an example of this species, for which I therefore now pro- 
pose the name of Pholis trigloides, it being a genuine member of the 
genus Pholis of Fleming.

This ugly, heavy-looking fish attains the length of ten or twelve 
inches, and is at present certainly the giant of its genus, and even of 
the true Blennies. It is very rare, or rather local, and confined ap- 
parently to beaches covered with large rounded rocks or stones, 
amidst which a little fresh water finds its way into the sea. I have 
had from ten to twenty individuals, from two inches and a half in 
length upwards, all exhibiting the same characters.

been transposed, by an error in the printing, from their proper place 
immediately before the first of these two paragraphs, beginning 
“« Crenilabrus luscus,” to p. 86, where they will be found forming in 
Italics the second paragraph from the top.
