Til Sammenligning vedføjes en Angivelse af Straale- 

 antallot lios en Del Individer af ,.H. livmmloides" fra et 

 Par andre Punkter af den norske Kyst. livoraf jeg person- 

 lig' bar kunnet undersøge Individer. 



Hv;iil først den alniindelige Legemsbygniug angaar. 

 udgjor den gjcnuenisnitlige Hojde af Legemet i Forhold til 

 Totallængden hos et Antal omtrent ligestore Individer fra 

 disse forskjellige Localiteter følgende: 



•Spitsbergen . (9 lud.. Totall. 172—235""") . . 3.10 

 Øst-Finmarken (5 Ind.. Totall. 170—254"'"') . . 3.40 

 Tromsø (2 Ind.. Totall. 215—285""') . . '3,24 



Christianiafj orden (7 Ind.. Totall. 185—298'""') . . 3.2(i 



Vistnok sees saaledes Indi\'iderne frn Spitsbergen at 

 have havt en relativt noget større Legemshøjde. end Indi- 

 viderne fra Øst-Finmarken. men dette er ganske tiltældigt, 

 da Individerue fra disse Localiteter ere absolut identiske ; 

 men mellem de nordligste (fra Spitsbergen) og de sydligste 

 (fra Christianiafjorden) er Forskjellen atter ganske ubety- 

 delig, saaledes at sikre Uistinttionscharacterer ikke kunne 

 bentes fra dette Forhold. 



Det maa her bem?f>rkes. at.Legemshojden er relativt 

 større lios de fitldt udvoxede Individer, end den ovenfor 

 anførte, der gjælder Individerue i et noget yngre Stadium.

For comparison is annexed a list of fin-formulæ in 

 divers examples of "H. limamhide»" from other localities 

 on the Norwegian coast which I have had an opportunity 

 of examining. . 



First, as regards the general structure of the body. 

 The proportion borue by the depth to the total length in a 

 number of specimens, about equal in size, from the said 

 localities is as^ follows: — 



Spitzbergen 9 Ind. (Total L. 172—235"'"') as 1 to 3.10. 



East Finmark 5 lud. (Total L. 170—254""') as 1 to 3.40. 



Tromsø 2 Ind. (Total L. 215—285"") as 1 to 3.24. 



Christiania Fjord. 7 Ind. (Total L. 185— 298"'") as 1 to 3.26. 



The majority of the S])itzbergeu individuals were, in- 

 deed, distinguished by a depth of body relatively gi'eater 

 than those from East Finmark; tliis, however, is merely 

 casual, the latter having been iu the strictest sense identi- 

 cal with the former ; but between the • examples from the 

 most northerly locality (vSpitzbergen) and those obtained 

 fartliest south (the C!hristiania Fjord), the difference is very 

 incousi(h■rabk^ far too slight indeed to admit of its furn- 

 ishing distinctive chai'acters. ' 



It may be noticed, that tlie depth of the body in i'ull- 

 gi-own individuals is rehvtively greater than that here given, 

 which refers to examples in a somewhat earlier stage of 

 growth. In 4 of the typical specimens from . Greenland,
