Obs. In his first description of this species Lilljeborg held 

 that Esmark's Brama Rasclii?, now kno^^•n both in Norwaj' and 

 Iceland, should be considered identical with Lowe's Brama longi- 

 pinnis from Madeira. The objections to this opinion given bj'

C. 4 + 17+4 according to LuWK; 4 + 1.5 + 4 in /)';'. princepf according to Johnson. Esmark gives C. 20, whence I assume that 

 he also counted all the visible supporting rays. As usual, in the above formula by .r we denote the upper and lower, simple, supporting rays.
