Gobiosoma guttulatum Macleay. 

 Locality: Roebuck Bay . . . Two specimens, 86 and 61 mm. 



In the original description, Macleay states (Proc. Lin. Soc. 

 N. S. Wales, II, 1877, p. 357, pi. IX, fig. 6) the length of the 

 head to be contained seven times in the total length. In his 

 figure, however, it is only one-sixth of the length. In my speci-

 most part. No teeth on vomer or palate. The scales on the 

 upper side of the head reach to between the eyes. The 

 color in spirits is brownish, lighter on the belly. A dark longi- 

 tudinal bar runs from the snout through the eye and is con-
