 behiud head. Pectoral f to 'f^ the length of head. Head, body, and fins spotted and

Hei-e described from specimens from the Falkland Islands, 80 to 1 30 mm. in total 

 length, including the types of Lycodes variegatus and two obtained liy the Scotia at 

 Station 118, Port Stanley. 



I am indebted to Mr L. Doncaster for the loan of JENYNs'-type ; the appearance 

 of some of the mucous canals as free fringing tubes is due to the l)ad state of preserva- 

 tion of the specimen. 



Smitt's Phucoccetes variegatus elongatus {t.c, p. 44, pi. v. fig. 34) seems to be a 

 distinct species, with the head -| of the distance from operculum to origin of anal.

5. Austrolycichthys, gen. nov.
