of the sides of tlie body and for expanding riglit dowii. The 

 signiticance of this figuration will be raore clearly seen below, in 

 the N:o R 34. Anal fin in the front third white. Anal opening 

 below the usual interspace. Scales on the body from the middle 

 of the length of the pectorals to ^/s of the base of the anal lin. 

 Length of the interraaxillar series of teeth 4.5 mm., of the pala- 

 tine 5 mm. 



N:o R. 32. Same locality as N:o R. 26. 



Coloiir not quite so light as the preceding. Nuchal white 

 crossband as in N:o R. 30. The two abdominal and the three 

 first caudal dark saddle-marks uniting below, thus making the 

 four white interspaces between themselves droplike saddle-marks. 

 Upper parts of the sides of the body, bounding on the lower 

 parts of the abdominal saddle-marks, marked by a longitudinal 

 livid band. Caudal dark crossraarks 6, besides the dark tip of 

 the tail-fin. Anal opening below the front margin of the first 

 caudal dark saddle-mark. Scales as in the preceding. Length 

 of intermaxillar series of teeth 4.8 mm., of palatine 5.5 ram. 



N:o R. 33. Greenland, S.E. off Pendulura-Island, 74° 35' n.; 18^ 15' w.; 

 depth 150 m.; mud with stones; August 5, 1900; KOLTHOFF- 

 expedition. 



Colour about as in the preceding, but more bluish. White 

 nuchal crossband almost vanished in the midst of the neek. 

 Caudal dark crossmarks 6 (if the dark tip of the tail-fin be 

 counted), the two first being saddle-marks with their interiör 

 just below the dorsal fin as light as the white interspaces, the 

 third Crossing both dorsal and anal fin, the fourth and fifth 

 uniting below to form a seraicircular ring. Anal opening below 

 the usual interspace. Scales obscure because of the slimy skin. 

 Length of the intermaxillar series of teeth 6 mm., of the palatine 

 7 mm. 



N:o R. 34. Same locality as N:o R. 26. 



Figured in our plate, fig. 4 and 5, where it will be seen, 

 how the above-named figuration in N:o R. 31 gives the origin 

 to the reticulate ai)pearance, which bas given its narae to the 

 species. Scales from the front margin of the second abdominal 

 to the third caudal dark saddle-mark. Length of the inter- 

 maxillar series of teeth 7.7 mm., of the palatine 8.5 mm. 



N:o R. 35. Same locality as N:o R. 26. 



Colour about as in N:o R. 33. White nuchal crossband 

 rather broadly (as broad as half the breadth of the interorbital 

 space) interrupted in the midst of the neck. Caudal dark cross- 

 marks 6 (if the dark tip of the tail-fin be counted). Head 

 above figured as in the preceding. Anal opening below the 

 usual interspace. Abdominal scales extremely thin, the scaly 

 covering rather inconspicuous in front of the second caudal dark 

 crossmark. Pectorals broad. Length of the intermaxillar series 

 of teeth 8.9 mm., of the palatine 9 mm.
