On some new discoveries of ly y c o d e s. 



Dr. pliil. J oh. vSchniidt, wlio conducted the zoological investigations of the Danish .steamer 

 Thor at Iceland during 1903, lias had the goodness to show me the Lycodes taken during this cruise. 

 Of special interest were the following: 



J.ycodes vahlii Reinh. This species occurs, in addition to what has been stated previously 

 (p. 21) at west, north and east Iceland, also at south Iceland, as the Thor took 3 young specimens 

 at 63" 15' N.L. 20- 4' W.L., at a depth of 326 — 216 m. 



Lycodes frigidns Coll. i specimen was taken in the polar depths off north-east Iceland (66° 19' 

 N.L. 10" 45' W.L.I where the depth was 1440 m., bottom-temp. — o'92 C. 



Lycodes palHdiis Coll. i specimen was taken in the polar depths off north-east Iceland (66'' 2' 

 N.L. 11^5'W.L.), where the depth was 1040 — 900 m., bottom-temp. — o '58 C. 



Lycodes senmmdiis Reinh. 3 specimens (2 55, 31 — 36 cm. long, i $, 33 cm. long, all uniformly 

 coloured) were taken in the polar depths off north-east Iceland (66^ 2' N.L. ii°5' W.L.) where the depth 

 was 1040 — 900 m., bottom-temp. — o°58 C. 



Literature published (or coming into the hands of the author) 

 after the end of the year 1902. 



Romer und Schaudinn: Fauna Arctica. II, i, 1901. Die Fische von E. Ehrenbaum. 



In this general treatise (p. 123) Prof. Ehrenbaum mentions that Romer and Schaudinn in 1898 

 took a small Lycodes (67 mm. long) N.W. from Ross Island at a depth of 85 m.; this specimen E. refers 

 to A. /'6'//r«/rt/«.v Reinhardt (in the synonymy-list including with others, L.rossi ^l^Xxwgx.)-^ further, that 

 the Olga-Expedition took 2 specimens of L.ycodes (180 and 250 mm. long) at the entrance to Green 

 Harbour in 145 — 180 m. depth, both of which had to be referred to the reticulaUis-'gxow^. 



All these 3 specimens belong without doubt to Lycodes rossi Malmgren. 



R. Collett: Om tre for Norges Fauna nye Fi.ske. Arcli. f. ;\Iath. og Naturvidensk. B. XXV. 

 Nr. 2. 1903. 



On p. 14 — 26, Collett discusses the Lycodes rossi Malmgr. taken by the IMichael Sars» in 

 Porsanger Fjord and at Spitzbergen, and mentions also a specimen from the bank south from Bear Is- 

 land, depth 130 m., bottom-temp. -|- 0^5 C.'). Concerning the delimiting of the .species Prof. C. has a 

 similar opinion to my own, being liowever inclined to consider L. liltkeini Coll. as the fully grown 

 stage of L. rossii \ I have set forth my own views, on this point on p. 61. 



'I When Collett (p. 26) also gives L. rossi as from East Greenland, tliat is incorrect, but the fault lies entirely with 

 myself, as I at a certain time considered the East Greenland Lycode, which I have named L. reticutaius Reinh. var. macro- 

 cephalus in the present work, to be identical with L. rossi and had informed Prof. C. of this.
