N. B. Af en Bemærkning i Leem's bekjendte Værk over 

 Finmarkens Lapper (Kbhvn. 1767). p. 315, synes den alle- 

 rede i forrige Aarh undrede at have været erholdt og kjendt 

 af Fiskerne i disse Landsdele. Nordhavs-Expeditionens 

 Individ var optaget paa Havet sydvest for Beeren Eiland, 

 paa det betydelige Dyb af omtrent 450 Favne; sandsynlig- 

 vis vil denne Art vise sig ikke at mangle paa nogen til- 

 svarende Dybde i de arctiske Trakter mellem Europa og 

 America.

served, though hardly farther south than in lat. 70° N. 

 From an observation in Leem's well-known work on the 

 Lapps of Finmark (Copenhagen 17137). p. 315, it would 

 appear to have been known and captured by fishermen 

 in those localities as early as the last century. The example 

 obtained ' on the Expedition was taken in the open sea, 

 south-west of Beeren Eiland, at the very considerable depth 

 of 450 fathoms; probably, the species is nowhere, wanting 

 at corresponding depths in any of the Arctic tracts stretch- 

 ing between Europe and America.

Body dextral. Teeth small and pointed; on 

 either side equally dereloped; one row in each jaw; 

 vomerine and palatine teeth wanting. Lower pharyn- 

 geal teeth forming a single row. Mouth exceedingly 

 wide; maxillary reaching back to the middle of 

 the eye. Preanal spine present. Lateral Hue 

 almost straight. Caudal rounded. Scales rather 

 large, on the coloured- side ciliated. Number of fin- 

 rays considerable.
