SALA.EIAS QUABRTCOBXIS, GuV. ^ Val. 



Three specimens ; largest five inches ; in rook-i)ools and under stones 

 between tide-marts. 



dEISTICEPS, Guv. 4' Val* 



Ceisticeps aueantiacus, Cast. 

 A single example, about four inches in length, was presented to the 

 Museum by Mr. Langley. 



Ceisticei's EOSErs, G-ntli. 

 Mr. Saunders brought back a small GrMiccps in bad condition, which 

 agrees better with the above species than with others with which I have had 

 an opportunity of comparing it. 



TllIPTEETGITJM, Risso. 



TEirTERTUirM ATBOGULAEE, Gllth. 



Mr. Saunders brought back numerous exauiples of this pretty little 

 Blenny ; they vary greatly in the amount of black on the head and breast, 

 several specimens being absolutely without any indication of this color. 



ACANTHOCLINIDiE. 



ACAJSITHOCLTNUS, Jenijns. 



ACAXTHOCLIXUS LITTOEEL'S, FofSt., Sp. 



Plate III, f. 3. 

 This species was found by Mr. Saunders to be very common under stones 

 and in pools between tide-marks ; like the preceding it is variable in its 

 coloration one specimen especially being distinctly banded. I give a fagure 

 of this individual for whom, should it prove distinct, A.fascwlatus would be 

 a most appropriate name. 



MUGILID^. 



MTXUS, Gunther. 

 Myxus elongatus, Gnfli. 

 These Mullet are abundant at all seasons, and form a staple article ot 

 food among the islanders, either fresh, salted, or dried. 



GOBIESOCID^. 



DIPLOCEEPIS, Gilnfher. 



DiPLOCEEPIS COSTATTJS, Of/ill^.* 



There are two very small specimens among the fishes brought by our 

 collectors, both, as usual, taken while adhering to the lower side ot a stone 

 between tide-marks. 



* Count Castelnau Jias described so many ("eren) species of Cristweps witliout 

 suiRciently diagnosing tliem, that I am unwilling to add to the confusion caused tnercDy 

 ty describing these two species as new. The specimen which I have called C. aurantmms 

 diiTers from all other examples which I have seen by the great length and tenuity ot tne 

 caudal pedicle, which is two-thirteenths of tlie total lengtli without the caudal Im, and 

 whose height is but a sixtli of its length. Its color is pale yellowish-brown, the iins or ^ 

 rather darker sliade. Should it prove to be a good species, C. ^jedwillatus would be an 

 excellent name for it.
