Body anguiUiform ; dorsal low^ sub-divided; caudal fin not attached to the dorsal; ventralfins perfect^ of three soft rays^ and one spinous^ fullydeveloped; mouth oblique^ directed Alticus. C. V. xi. 337.* CirripectesNob. Body short; profile vertical; a semicircleof filaments round the nape; head crested; dorsal high^and cleft in the middle; representing variolosus. C. V. xi. 317. CniROLOPHisf JVob. Body anguiUiform^ much com-pressed ; head crested, obtuse, profile rounded; teethas in Blennius, but smaller and shorter ; mouthoblique, rather wide ; dorsal and anal fins of equalbreadth throughout; the former attached to the cau-dal; ventrals very short, of three Yarrellii. C. V. xi. 218. Cristigeps Cuv. Profile nearly ovate; dorsal fins * More than one species appears to be placed under this name; this typeevidently represents, or passes into, Opistognathus; not having seen it, Ihave followed M. Valenciennes in retaining it for the present in this genus :it is said to jump on the sea rocks like a lizard. t I have but little doubt of this being a sub-generic type, representingthe GunneU Blennies, but its precise situation requires much investigation.
