FISHES OF THE FAMILY CLINIDAE IN SOUTHERN AFRICA 141 lized sand-burrowers which have been found intertidally only in the Lambert's Bay area, and I consider their distribution too imperfectly known to be dis- cussed further here. Nine of the 30 species of Clinidi occur both inter- and infratidally, larger specimens in general being taken in deeper water; 14 have been taken more or less exclusively intertidally, and seven occur mainly infratidally, although juvenile and even adult specimens may occur intertidally from time to time in most cases; Clinus woodi occurs intertidally in the northern part of its range, but is infratidal further south (Mrs. M. M. Smith, personal communication). The species in these three categories are listed for reference in table 1. The known ranges of distribution of the 30 South African species of Clinidi are shown in figure 2. Most of the species occur between Luderitzbucht and the Kei River mouth; this is shown in a graph illustrating the number of species recorded from different localities along the coast (fig. 3). Two of the species, Clinus berrisfordi and Pavoclinus profundus, are known only from their single type localities. Of the remaining 28, 14 are common, fairly common, or at least regularly present over part or the whole of their known ranges of distri-. Fig. 3.
