diameter and he puts their number at about 1200. In a specimen of Lycodcs frigidus , 500 mm. 

 long, I have counted 500 eggs each ca. 7 mm. in diameter. Tlie eggs are large also in the smaller 

 species; in /.xcodes vahlii (from Iceland) I liave found them to be 4,5 mm. in diameter, in L.eiidipleiiru- 

 stictns 5 mm. in diameter (the number ca. 250) and in /.. agnostus 4,5 mm. in diameter. 



The eggs are laid without doubt on the bottom, as no pelagic t^v i.s known whicli could be 

 ascribed to the Lycodince. The brood also must apparenth- live on the bottom; tolerabh- small \oung, 

 for example, have often been taken in the trawl which is dragged on the bottom, ne\er however in 

 the pelagic net.
