190 FUNAFUTI ATOLL. 



Another palpable error occurs in the measurement of the 

 pectoral, and as this is copied into the "Fauna," (loc. cit.) it may 

 be further mentioned. The length of this fin is stated to be 

 "4J in the total length." In the Funafuti example (525 millim. 

 to middle caudal rays) it is contained 7*8 times, or 9 times in the 

 extreme length, which was probably the measurement taken by 

 Day.

578 millim. is the length of the only "sucker-fish" collected.

GOBIUS BIOCELLATUS, CuV. & Val. 



Gobius biocellatus, Guv. & Val., Hist. Nat., xii., p. 73 ; Day, 

 Fishes of India, pi. Ixiii., fig. 8. 



To this species I have doubtfully referred a small specimen of 

 38 millim., but it is too young for certain determination.

A nice series of this beautiful species was obtained (largest 

 specimen 72 millim.). Giiuther's figure gives an excellent repre- 

 sentation of the fish ; it may be remarked that the markings at 

 the base of the second dorsal are in reality oblique lines directed
