identity. But the last voyage of the Expedition having 

 brought to light L. frigidus, not previously described, in 

 the adult stage of growth, I feel no hes'itation in referring 

 the said fry-specimens to that species; the smaller of the 

 two I have figured., along with one of the typical spec- 

 imens, rather more than half grown. 



Measurements. — The two fry -individuals from the 

 banks oft' the Norwegian coast (1877) measured as follows : — 



The remaining individuals, taken in the tract of ocean 

 surrounding Beeren Eiland and Spitzbergen (1878). mea-

General Description. Structure of the Bodg. — The 

 fin -ray formula and the scaled integument distinguishing 

 the new species are very nearly the same -as in Lycodes 

 esmarkii : the dimensions of the body, too, correspond 

 closely in the two species. On the other hand, it is seen 

 at a glance to be distinct from L. esmarkii, by reason of 

 the lateral line, which is single and ventral, and also from 

 this and the other species of the same group, by the uni- 

 form colour of the body in all stages of growth. 



The body is of the typical Lycodes structure, neither 

 particularly elongate nor short. The young sjjecimens are 

 somewhat more elongated than the older examples, but 

 even fry an incli or two in length have a depth of body
