Compared with L. verriliii Goode & Bean, therefore, we have in L. kolthoffi: 

 The body is more slender, tlie height over the anns being 4,9— 5,2 "^/o of the total length (against 



5,5 — 6,2 % in L. verriliii). 

 The anns lies fnrther forward, its distance from the snont being 27,8—28,40/0 of the total length 



(against 31,9— 33,3 'Vo in L. verriliii). 

 The head is relatively shorter, its length being 14,3—14,80/0 of the total length (against 19,3 [in $ 16] °/o 



in L. verriliii). 

 The dorsal fin begins relatively fnrther forward, its distance from the snont being 18,6— 18,9 °/o of the 



total length (against 23,2—25,9 ^/o in L. verriliii). 

 The pectorals are larger, their length being 10,3— 11,3 "/o of the total length (against 8,3—8,90/0 in 



L. verriliii). 

 The eyes are relatively smaller, their longitndinal diameter being 2,50/0 of the total length (against 



3,7 — 4 o/y in L. verriliii). 



In addition, the dark colonration is marbled in /.. kolthoffi, bnt in regular cross-bands in 

 L. verriliii. 



L. kolthoffi stands much nearer to L. sarsii Coll., from which however it can be easily 

 distinguished in that the eyes are relatively a little smaller, that the pectorals are larger, and that 

 the dorsal fin begins further forward; thus in a 140 mm. long L. sarsii 5, the longitudinal diameter 

 of the eye is 2,900, the length of the pectoral 1,^'-':o, the distance of the dorsal fin from the snout 

 22,20/0 of the total length. In addition, the colouration is quite different; the present species is 

 strongly spotted, whilst adult L. sarsii are more uniform, with only indistinct .shadings down on 

 the sides.

The height over the anus is 5,1 °/o of the total length. The head tolerably 

 broad, the body almost round, the tail gradually compressed and losing very slowly 

 in height. The length of the head is 12,40/0 of the total length. The anterior end of
