  Day. 
  "Little 
  Goby." 
  "Speckled 
  Goby." 
  

   " 
  One-spotted 
  Goby." 
  

  

  " 
  This 
  well-marked 
  species 
  of 
  Goby 
  is 
  occasionally 
  found 
  in 
  

   the 
  Firth 
  of 
  Forth, 
  but 
  is 
  not 
  common." 
  (Parnell.) 
  "Fre- 
  

   quent 
  " 
  (at 
  Banff). 
  (Edward.) 
  

  

  This 
  species 
  I 
  find 
  sparingly 
  in 
  the 
  rock 
  - 
  pools 
  about 
  

   Aberdeen. 
  

  

  Gobius 
  quadrimaculatus, 
  Cuv. 
  

  

  This 
  species 
  is 
  represented 
  by 
  a 
  single 
  specimen 
  which 
  I 
  

   found 
  on 
  board 
  a 
  steam 
  trawler 
  that 
  had 
  been 
  fishing 
  sixteen 
  

   miles 
  east 
  of 
  Aberdeen, 
  April 
  23rd, 
  1895.

  Goby. 
  

  

  Described 
  as 
  a 
  " 
  new 
  species 
  of 
  British 
  Goby," 
  by 
  Parnell, 
  

   in 
  Proceedings 
  of 
  the 
  Boyal 
  Society 
  of 
  Edinburgh 
  (1887). 
  

   " 
  Reported 
  by 
  Edward 
  as 
  plentiful 
  in 
  the 
  rock 
  and 
  sand-pools 
  

   of 
  the 
  Banffshire 
  coast." 
  (Harvie-Brown 
  and 
  Buckley.) 
  

  

  I 
  can 
  find 
  no 
  report 
  of 
  this 
  in 
  any 
  of 
  Edward's 
  writings 
  

   with 
  which 
  I 
  am 
  acquainted. 
  Occasionally 
  cast 
  upon 
  the 
  

   beach 
  at 
  Aberdeen. 
  

  

  Genus 
  CRYSTALLOGOBIUS, 
  Gill. 
  

  

  Crystallogobius 
  nilssonii, 
  Dub. 
  and 
  Kor. 
  

  

  One 
  was 
  obtained 
  from 
  a 
  rock-pool 
  at 
  Banff 
  in 
  May, 
  1868, 
  

   by 
  Edward, 
  and 
  was 
  figured 
  by 
  Day.

  This 
  species 
  is 
  fairly 
  abundant 
  all 
  along 
  the 
  east 
  coast, 
  

   and 
  is 
  frequently 
  brought 
  to

  and 
  trawl.
