shorter. In tlie other two specimens the length of the dorsal is about equal to 

 the distance from the posterior border of the eje to the tip of the snout. The 

 pectoral fins are about as long as the head ; the ventrals slightly shorter. The 

 color of these specimens is a milky white, irregularly banded and blotched with 

 light brown. lu the largest one (with the filamentous dorsal) the anal fin 

 is rather dark brown and there is a dark spot on the ventral fin and on the 

 middle of the throat, nearly covering it.

One specimen from Hungry Bay was taken from under a stone at low tide in 

 about four inches of water by my brother, Mr. W. W. Barbour, April, 1903 ; 

 a diligent search in the same and similar localities failed to yield a second 

 specimen.

The forty-eight specimens before me show a decided differentiation into two 

 distinct color phases. One lot, consisting of twenty-six specimens, was taken 

 by me, with the aid of Messrs. Bigelow and Cole, in the~ rock pools of the 

 south shore near Hungry Bay. All these specimens, except two, which are 

 quite black, are very dark brown. The rest, some twenty or more, were taken 

 by dredging in Castle HarVjor and ^langrove Bay, in localities where the 

 bottom was white sand composed of coral, shell, and Foraminifera. All these 

 specimens are light gray, almost white, with a row of dark lateral puncticula- 

 tions, just visible. 



This species is very active and jumps about on the bare rocks washed by the 

 waves and even moves from one tide pool to another over dry land.
