Notothenia Veitchii. 



D. 6 | 32. A. 28. L. lat. ca. 88. 



The length of the head is contained three times and a half 

 in the total (without caudal), the height of the body five 

 times and one third. Head elongate, like the body, with the 

 snout pointed, and rather longer than the eye, the diameter of 

 which is two ninths of the length of the head. Lower jaw 

 slightly projecting beyond the upper; maxillary reaching 

 beyond the front margin of the orbit. Dorsal spines feeble. 

 Upper parts densely marbled with dark brown, lower yellowish. 



Several specimens, 3^ inches long, were obtained in the 

 Chonos Archipelago by one of the collectors of Harry Veitch, 

 Esq., who presented them to the British Museum.

The height of the body is contained thrice and three fourths 

 in the total length (without caudal), the length of the head 

 four times and a half. Snout very short, obtuse and rounded, 

 once and a half as long as the small eye, the diameter of which 

 is one fifth of the length of the head. Orbit surrounded by a 

 narrow adipose eyelid. Forehead very broad and convex. 

 The maxillary extends somewhat beyond the front margin of 

 the eye. Upper jaw with a narrow band of fixed teeth ; the 

 lower with a broader band, which is interrupted in the middle ; 

 vomerine teeth forming a large triangular patch ; palatine 

 teeth in a narrow band. Lower lip with trenchant margin.

 (without caudal), the length of the head rather less than two 

 sevenths. Snout short, not longer than the eye, with the lower 

 jaw ascending and projecting beyond the upper. The width 

 of the interorbital space is contained twice and one third in 

 the length of the head, the diameter of the eye four times. 

 The origin of the dorsal fin is opposite to the sixteenth scale 

 of the lateral line, and midway between the root of the caudal
