THE FISHES of the genus Neoclinus were revised by me in connection with my studies on the clinid fishes of the eastern Pacific before it was realized that these fishes are not clinids. It now appears that Neoclinus is referable to the Blenniidae and, more specifically, to the subfamily Chaenopsinae, within which it may be regarded as constituting one of four tribes (Hubbs, 1952). This concept involves a regrouping of genera which previous authors have placed in several families. For permission to examine specimens, the author is indebted to George S. Myers and Margaret H. Storey, of Stanford University; Wilbert M. Chapman and W. I. Follett, of the California Academy of Sciences; Carl L. Hubbs and Boyd W. Walker, of the University of California; John S. Garth, of the University of Southern California; and Robert R. Miller, formerly of the United States National Museum. Thanks are due to Norman J. Wilimovsky for help in the work on Stathmonotus and for helpful discussions on other aspects of the problem. George S. Myers, Carl L. Hubbs, Rolf L. Bolin, and Catherine S. Hubbs have read and criticized drafts of the work. Figure 12 was drawn by Alma W. Froderstrom; the remaining drawings were made by Grace Hewitt, from sketches by the author. With one exception, the methods of counting and measuring used in this investigation have been those described by Hubbs and Lagler (1941). The spine lengths were measured from the posterior base of the spine. In the discussions of meristic characters the extreme varia-
