L. pacificus, n. sp., angivelig fra Japan, og tilhørende Berliner-

 foreslaaet. (16. L. [Lycodopsis] pacificus, Coll.)

En ny Art, den 2den fra det stille Hav, opstilles og beskrives 

 nøjagtigt, efter et Individ med en Totallængde af 330""", under Navn 

 af L. turneri. Den tilhører de skjælløse Arter, hvoraf der egentlig 

 blot existerer 1 sikker Art formlen denne, nemlig L. mucosus, Rich.; 

 af de øvrige Arter, der ere beskrevne som skjælløse, er nemlig den 

 ene utilstrækkeligt beskreven, og ikke senere gjenfunden (L. polaris, 

 Sab.), og de 2, L. rossi, Malmgr., og L. gracilis, M. Sårs, ere Yngel- 

 stadier af andre, skjælbeklædte Former, hvilket maaske ogsaa gjælder 

 om den 4de, L. sarsii, Coll. Farven er hos denne Art mørk med 

 lyse Tverbaand; Legemet og Tandbygningen typiske.

 are established from specimens in a very early stage of

 at a depth of 73 — 114 fathoms, off the coast of Nova Scotia.

Here too, the identity of L. esmarkii and L. vahlii is dwelt 

 upon and maintained, the author having, in ls78, brought from Fin- 

 mark to the University Museum two full-grown examples of the 

 former. The fry-specimen of L. friyidus, taken on the North Atlantic 

 Expedition in 187s, on the banks off the. Lofoten coast, is mentioned 

 as comprised in the Norwegian Fauna.

Of L. mucosus, Rich. 1855, previously represented by the 2

L. pacificus, n. sp. (preserved in the Berlin Museum!, stated 

 to be from Japan, is here described and figured. The species being 

 without vomerine ami palatine teeth should, perhaps, be classed under 

 a separate sub-genus, for which the name of Lycodopsis is suggested.

A new species, the second met with in the Pacific Ocean, is 

 here established and fully described, from an individual having a total 

 length "I 330""", under the name of L. turneri. It belongs to the 

 scaleless species, of which, in a strict sense, but one other true 

 species is known to exist, viz. L. mucosus, Rich. ; for, of tile remain- 

 ing species stated to be scaleless, 1 is imperfectly described, and 

 has not since been met with (L. polaris, Sab.); and 2, L. rossi, Malmgr., 

 and L. gracilis, M. Sars, are other, scaled forms in the try stage of 

 development, which, perhaps, is also the case with the fourth, L. sarsii,

 structure of teeth typical. (17. L. turneri, Bean 1879).

The new species, L. paxillus, is described from a single indiv- 

 idual, not wholly free from mutilation, with a total length of 363""", 

 taken on the coast of Nova Scotia. Its characteristic features are 

 stated to be the short head, a peculiar curvature of the upper jaw, 

 the powerful development of the maxillary muscles, and the small 

 number of pectoral rays. It belongs to the elongated forms, and 

 has a plump, scaled body, uniform in colour.

Two individuals, believed to belong to Lycodes vahlii, Rein- 

 hardt, — total length respectively 540""" and 632""", — were taken 

 on the banks south of Nova Scotia, in 1879. I shall subsequently 

 show that these individuals are identical with L. esmarkii, having had 

 an opportunity of instituting a direct comparison between one of 

 them and the typical specimens of that species.
