Most of the species have the habit ofburrowing in the sand or mud. Nichols Goby, RhinogoUus nicholsi (Bean), is our sole represen-tative of a genus which is mainly southern in its distribution. It hassix spines in the dorsal fin, whereas the species that follow have is said to be abundant in some parts of Vancouver Island, but onlyone specimen has come to hand in the San Juan Islands. The Shining Goby, Lepidogobius lepidus (Girard), must be a rarespecies as very few have been taken up to this time. It has sevendorsal spines and is clothed with small cycloid scales. The Long-jawed Goby, Gillichthys mirabilis (Cooper), as its namesuggests, has the jaw reaching far back, nearly to the base of the pec-toral fin. The head and belly are devoid of scales.
