Family GOBIID^. 
It is remarkable that so many species of this family, which consists of fish inhabiting 
the shores of the sea and the mouths of rivers, and which are never met with in the 
open sea, should be found on both sides of the Indian Ocean. In some instances the 
Indian and African specimens are identical, and in others the variation between them is 
very slight indeed.

From a comparison of several fully adult examples from East Africa, from 9 to 14 
inches long, with specimens from India, we are enabled to confirm an opinion advanced 
in Dr. Gunther’s Catalogue of Fishes, iii. p. 21, that this species inhabits both sides of 
the Indian Ocean, and that G. platycephalus , Peters, is really identical with G. giuris. 
This species has been found by Col. Playfair far up rivers on the east coast of Africa 
and in the sea at Zanzibar.
