a greater of 12 rays and a smaller party, divided from the other, of 3 rays. At the same time Goode 

 and Bean described a P. Copei G. & B. and a Aiiiitra or Aloiioiiiitra liparina Goode, which in « Oceanic 

 Ichthyology » p. 277 is upheld as a proper genus; the localities where these types are found in the 

 northern Atlantic are noted in the said work, where also sketches of them are given (fig. 252 and 253). 

 Concerning the small P. mcinbranaccits Gthr. ((Challenger, Report:; etc. p. 69, pi. 12, fig. D) which in 

 the (Oceanic Ichthyology* is raised as the type of a proper genus, Hilgendorfia, it would be more 

 correct to postpone one's judgement until a larger nmterial is at hand. Final!}- I shall add, that in 

 the ((Oceanic Ichthyology;c is mentioned (in the ((Appendix* p. 525) a Paraliparis rosacens Gilb. from 

 the Pacific, and that M. Gilbert (.The ichthyological collections of U. St. F. Comm. St. Albatross 

 1890—91*, 1896) further has described a P. holniiidas, nlochir and ccphabis from the northern part of 

 the Pacific and a P. dactylosus from California. 



As M. Collet t and Dr. Giinther have given a full account ol Paraliparis bathybii there will be 

 no necessity for occupying myself further with it here. The number of vertebrte is 10 -{- 54. I shall 

 only give a list of the 6 stations, which have given the 18 more or less well preserved specimens at 

 hand, of which the 2 largest had a length of 185""" — 220"'".

Some few specimens were caught on Ingolf »'s expedition at localities, S.W. off Sukkertoppeu, viz: 



Station Lat. N. Long. W. Fathoms 

 29: 65" 34' 54° 31' 68 Davis Strait. Saiady bottom. Temperature at the bottom 0^2 C. 

 34: 67" 17' 54 ' 17' 55 Davis Strait. Temperature at the bottom o°.9 C. 

 In the Denmark Strait it is previously taken at a depth of 80 fathoms. 



The largest Ingolfian specimen is 136""". The ornamental markings, which concist of lighter 

 and darker transversal bands are on the whole not strong. Some of the specimens have i, 2 or 3 dark 

 spots on the foremost part of the dorsal fin. 



The Norwegian North-Sea Expedition got 4 specimens north of Jan Mayen and Spitsbergen, 

 where it also has been found earlier; it is also known from the east coast of Greenland, f. i. Heklas 

 port at a slight depth (the expedition of Ryder). It has also been found in the Kara-Sea and in 

 Barents-Sea and in the arctic part of the Pacific (Unalaska, at a depth of 49 fathoms).
