A single specimen, ]4(i mm. long, was taken in Puako Bay, Hawaii. It is exclusively a shore .species, introduced here for jiurposes of with Ficraxfcr. The angle formed by the gill-membranes on median line l)elow is behind eye a distance e(|ualing half iliameter of latter; premaxillary teeth minute, confined to anterior half of jaw, apparently in a single series; mandibidar and palatine teeth also in single series, those on sides of mandible directed laterally toward angle of mouth, none of them enlarged; 2 or 3 vomerine teeth are the largest in the mouth, and are arrangeil in a longitudinal series. Fii i-iisfrr parripitinis Kaup, resembles this species in the head and tumid cheeks, but accoi'ding to Kaup's figiu'e, it is a true Fiertissfrr. Fkratifi'v tuiittraUliA i<.\vf\
