16 LÖNNBERG, FISHES FROM SPITZBERGEN AND KING CHARLES LAND. 
(»Liparis tumcata» =) C. liparis is comparatively longer and 
has smaller eyes than C. fabricii (to which is added the dif- 
ferences in colour). 
The soft consistence of these fishes makes it rather diffi- 
cult to get any exact measurements of them, especially in 
such cases in which the different stage of contraction or dif- 
ferent method of preservation can have had any influence. 
Nevertheless I have, in the following, prepared a table of 
comparative measurements partly from my own, partly from 
the observations of others.

From this table it can be seen that the comparative 
measurements are subject to a considerable variation, but, on 
the whole, the head and the eyes are smaller in the »typical» 
Cyclogaster liparis (= »tunicata» LÖTKEN) than in the arctic 
fabricii. "The baltic variety takes an intermediate posi- 
tion, but has also a comparatively long caudal fin. But it 
must also be considered that the comparative sizes of the 
head and the eyes are diminished with the growth and that 
NE varieties can be found. During such circum- 
! These measurements are deduced from those given by LÖTKEN in »Kara- 
havets Fiske» p. 147 (33).
