LYCODIN.B. 



Lycenclielys iiuintua Coll. is the European Lycode with which the present species might most 

 easih' be confnsed. The following distinguishing characters however, are sufficient to separate them: 



L. miircena is a more elongated species than L. sarsii\ the height over the anus being only 

 4,1—5°,, of the total length. 



Jn ].. iiiiir(V}ia the dorsal fin begins further forward than in L. sarsfi\ its distance from the 

 snout being only 17,6— 18,2 "o of the total length. 



L. vmrcena has fewer rays in the pectorals, nameh' 13- 15. 



Lycodoniis flagellicaitda Jensen is likewise a more elongated species, the height over the anus 

 being onl\- 3,4 — 4,4 "o of the total length, and is immediately distinguished from the present by its 

 particularly slender, whip-like tail.
