LYCODIN.B. Q 



diameter and lie puts their number at about 1200. In a specimen of Lycodrs /rigid us, 500 mm. 

 long, I have counted 500 eggs eacli ca. 7 nun. in diameter. The egg.s are large also in the smaller 

 species; in Lycodes vahlii (from Iceland) I have found them to l)e 4,5 nun. in diameter, in /..e/idip/e/iro- 

 sticttts 5 mm. in diameter (the number ca. 250) and in A. agnostiis 4,5 mm. in diameter. 



The eggs are laid without doubt on the bottom, as no pelagic egg is known which could be 

 ascribed to the Lycodince. The brood also must apparenth' live on the bottom; tolerably small young, 

 for example, have often been taken in the trawl which is dragged on the bottom, never however in 

 the pelagic net.
