APPENDIX. 



On some new discoveries of Lycodes. 



Dr. phil. J oh. Schmidt, who condncted the zoological investigations of the Danish steamer 

 «Thor at Iceland during 1903, has liad the goodness to show me the lyycodes taken during this cruise. 

 Of special interest were the following: 



Lycodes vahlii Reinh. This species occurs, in addition to what has been stated previously 

 (p. 21) at west, north and east Iceland, also at south Iceland, as the Thor> took 3 young specimens 

 at 63° 15' N.L. 20 ■ 4' W.L., at a depth of 326 — 216 m. 



Lycodes frigidus Q.o\\. i specimen was taken in the polar depths off north-east Iceland (66° 19' 

 NX. 10° 45' W.L.) where the depth was 1440 m., bottom-temp. — o°92 C. 



Lycodes pallidus Coll. i specimen was taken in the polar depths off north-east Iceland (66° 2' 

 N.L. ii°5'W.L.), where the depth was 1040 — 900 m., bottom-temp. — o°58 C. 



L^y codes seniinudzis Reinh. 3 specimens (2 55, 31 — 36 cm. long, i J, '^■x, cm. long, all uniformly 

 coloured) were taken in the polar depths off north-east Iceland (66'' 2' N.L. 11° 5' W.L,.) where the depth 

 was 1040—900 m., bottom-temp. — o°58 C.

In this general treatise (p. 123) Prof. Ehrenbaum mentions that Romer and Schaudinn in 1898 

 took a small Lycodes (67 mm. long) N.W. from Ross Island at a depth of 85 m.; this specimen E. refers 

 to L.reticulatHs'^e\\\\\caAl (in the synonymy-Hst including with others, Z. ^'ow/ Malmgr.); further, that 

 the Olga-Expedition took 2 specimens of L^ycodes (180 and 250 mm. long) at the entrance to Green 

 Harbour in 145 — 180 m. depth, both of which had to be referred to the reh'culaizis-grow^. 



All these 3 specimens belong without doubt to Lycodes rosst Malmgren.

On p. 14 — 26, Collet t discu.sses the Lycodes rossi Alalmgr. taken by the Michael Sars;. in 

 Porsanger Fjord and at Spitzbergen, and mentions also a specimen from the bank south from Bear Is- 

 land, depth 130 m., bottom-temp. + 05 C.'). Concerning the delimiting of the species Prof. C. has a 

 similar opinion to my own, being however inclined to consider L. liitkenii Coll. as the fulh- grown 

 stage of L. rosszt - ; I have set forth my own views, on this point on p. 61. 



i| When CoUett (p. 26) also gives L. rossi as from East Greenland, that is incorrect, but the fault lies entirely with 

 myself, as I at a certain time considered the East Greenland Lycode, which I have named L. rcikulaius Reinh. var. inacro- 

 cephalus in the present work, to be identical with L. rossi and had informed Prof. C. of this.
