This species is closely allied to Liparis vul(iaris, from which it 

 differs in the following points, besides those mentioned : — ■ 



The width of the orbit is nearly one-third of that of the inter- 

 orbital space and of the extent of the snout. Nostril terminating in 

 a short wide tube, which is rather nearer to the orbit than to the 

 upper lip. The pseudobranchiaj are present, but reduced to two very 

 small lamellae. Dirty yello\vish, irregularly mottled with brownish, 

 more distinctly on the fins than on the body. 



The largest of the specimens from which these notes are taken is 

 46 lines long.
