This shows that there exists some variation with regard 
to these measurements, but that these differences are not 
grouped with any concordancy to the names. 
From the measurements of the 15 Lycodes frigidus COLLETT 
has published in the Norwegian North Atlantic Expeditions 
papers SmMItTT has prepared a table showing the relation of 
some of the measurements to the total length, He then di- 
vides the material in two classes according to the length. 
'The specimen before me is intermediate in size between these 
two classes and its measurements are also intermediate:
