This cramer of papille is very sneilen to that deseriinad in 
Barbulifer by Doctor Eigenmann in his description of that genus. 
Of this species we have a single representative 12 inches long. 
This specimen seems to agree with the nominal ‘species Gobtosoma 
bosci, but also with Gobtosoma molestum. In fact, judging from the 
material at hand in the Stanford University Museum—specimens 
from Pensacola, Florida, from Corpus Christi, Texas, and from 
Roanoke River, Virginia—the two species, G’. bosci and G. molestum, 
are one and the same.. The teeth, however, have been incorrectly 
described. They are as noted above, 1. e., teeth in several rows, the 
outer of both jaws somewhat enlarged, the inner of the lower jaw 
considerably enlarged and hooked inward.
