Most likely, Gollum was a hobbit although I don't believe the book specifically states whether or not he was. It does say that he came from a river area where hobbits were known to dwell. I'm too tired to look it up at the moment though.

I think he was a hobbit, the size and resemblance with smeagol should of gave it away,

Yes he WAS a hobbit though I forgot of which family
Seems that he reached the West Gate only little time earlier than the Fellowship
