Ventral filament verj' long, terminating in a cutaneous lobe. Skin, 

 with soft warts, arranged in three or four longitudinal bands. 



Lindroth saj-s that the fish is silveiy, with blacki.sh transverse 

 stripes ; but, perhaps, the species he saw was different from that seen 

 by iiscanius. 



It appears very doubtful whether the dorsal fin really was con- 

 tiguous with a caudal. 



Sea off Bergen.

 ment terminating in a cutaneous lobe. Skin covered with soft warts,

Sea oflf Hitteren, near Trondhjem. ? Sea off Alnmouth. 



The typical specimen, considerably mutilated, is in the Zoological 

 Museum at Stockholm. 



This species also is said to have had the dorsal contiguous with the 

 caudal fin. 



Hancock mentions a fish, caught in January or February 1845, 

 near Alnmouth, which, from the me;isurements given, would appear 

 to belong to this species. It was 16 feet long and 11 inches deep.

It is merely in consequence of a misinteipretation of the text and 

 figure given by KusscU, that Shaw describes the ventrals ot this fish 

 fis biradiate.
