Thirteen specimens of this Liparis were collected off Cape 

 Faraday. The largest measures 100 millim. in length and 

 much resembles Collett's variety arcticus*. This form is of 

 a nearly uniform greyish -brown colour, but with the ventral 

 side somewhat lighter, and probably represents Gill's Liparis 

 arctica according to Collett "j". All the other specimens are 

 considerably smaller — 40 to 60 millim. long — and most 

 nearly resemble the varieties stellatus, Malm, and sub/uscus, 

 Collett |, though not altogether agreeing with either.

Twenty small specimens were obtained in Inglefield Gulf 

 and one in Murchison'a Sound. The largest is among the 

 former and measures 45 millim. in length. Most of them are 

 young, and the smallest is only 17 millim. long; the latter 

 specimen and a few others not much longer are devoid of 

 scales and without distinct rays in the first dorsal. Collett § 

 supposes this species to be a deep-sea fish, as it has not 

 hitherto been obtained at a less depth than 60 fathoms ; but 

 this supposition is contradicted by its abundant occurrence 

 in Inglefield Gulf at a depth of only 25 fathoms and at the 

 mouth of a glacial river.
