UdbredelSe. Da Artsbegrændsuingen hos denne 

 Slægt endnu i tlei-e Henseender er nsikker. kan Udbredel- 

 sen af L. lineatii.s endnu ikke med Xojagtiglied opgives. 

 Plere Omstændigheder tyde dog paa. at den har en for- 

 lioldsvis vid Udbredelse ; foruden at den under . en Mang- 

 foldighed af Farvevarieteter forekommer fra Østersoen og 

 Enghmd af. og kings den svensk-(kinske og hele den norske 

 Kyst op til Spitsbergen, hvor den endnu under 8<J" N. B. 

 naar en frodig Udvikling. forekommer den desuden ved Is- 

 land, Grrønlaud. og Nordamericas Kyster ned til New 

 England-Staterne. idet den er funden, ifølge Goode & Bean, 

 i Massachusetts Bay. Mod Øst gaar den idetmindste ind 

 i det hvide Hav (hvorfra den beskreves af Lepechin alle- 

 rede i 1774). 



Distribution. — The specific limits of this genus 

 being as yet in many respects undetermined, the exact 

 range of Liparis lineah(s cannot be given. Divers ciixum- 

 stances lead us however to infer that the species is widely 

 distributed: besides occurring — with regard to colour in 

 numerous varieties — in the Baltic, on the shores of 

 (ireat Britain, and on the Swedish. Danish, and Nor- 

 wegian coasts, as far north as Spilzbergen, where, in 

 lat. 80" N.. it attains a high degree of development, 

 the species likewise inhabits the shores of Iceland and 

 Greenland, its range extending from thence along the North 

 American coast, as far south as New England, having been 

 observed in Massachusetts Bay. L. Jineatiis has been met 

 with as «far east as the White Sea. the first to .describe 

 it as occurring there havintr been Lepechin. in 1774.

' Diagnosis.. — Head sliort and globular; equal in 

 length to the depth of the body, and is to total length as 1 

 to o^i^: eyes (orbitæ) large, their longitudinal diameter being 

 to the length of the head as 1 to 3^j-,, and to width of inter- 

 orbital space about as 1 to Pj^; the dorsal and anal 

 fins covering two-thirds of the caiidal; snout short, but 

 slightly ejxeeding the diameter of the orbit ; the upper and 

 loiver divisions of the pectorals, are separated by a space fur- 

 nished with 3 — 4 rudimentary rays (concerning the eyes, 

 the ventral disk, and the position of the vent nothing is known).

obtained was brought up with the trawl-net in a very 

 mutilated condition, being jammed in between stones and 

 clay, in such a manner that the greatest difficulty was 

 experienced in extricating it. The skin, which in all pro- 

 bability was very lax. had been torn off over the whole
