Of this fish which Günther only admits among his doubtful spe- 
cies and which was afterwards well characterized by Malmgren, five 
well preserved specimens, varying in length from 65 to 135 mm. 
were collected in the Barents-Sea. The number of fin-rays agrees 
with that of Malmgren’s specimens. In the largest specimen I 
count: D. 91; A. 73. 
Postseript. During the correction of the proofsheet of this list of 
fishes Mr. d’Urban’s paper on the Zoology of the Barents- 
Sea, in which seven species of fish are mentioned (Ann. & 
Magaz. of Nat. Hist., October 1880, p. 267) comes to hand. 
Three out of these seven species, viz. Aspidophoroides mon- 
opterygius, Blennius sp. and Hippoglossoides limandoides are 
not contained in the list above given. Might these per- 
haps on closer examination prove to be identical with spe- 
cies 7, 9 and 11 of this list? It were only duplicates that 
were given away by the naturalist on board the vessel.
