Distributional pattern of the neuromasts has been described for Gobius striatus Day. The neuromasts are arranged in several lines. Canal formation, like many gobiids, is suppressed to varying extent. The supraorbital line presents interesting variations. The supraorbital lines of the two sides are separate from each other even in the so‐called common ‘interorbital chamber’. An outstanding feature of the neuromast system of the fish is the great development of the supramaxillary line which is perhaps best developed in this case.
