diameter and he puts their number at about i2<x>. In a .specimen of Lycodes frigidus , 500mm. 

 long', I have counted 500 eggs each ca. 7 mm. in diameter. The eggs are large also in the smaller 

 species; in Lycodes vahlii (from Iceland) I have found them to be 4,5 mm. in diameter, in L.endipleuro- 



stictus 5 mm 



in diameter (the number ca. 250) and in L. agnostus 4,5 mm. in diameter. 



The eggs are laid without doubt on the bottom, as no pelagic egg is known which could be 

 ascribed to the Lycodince. The brood also must apparently live on the bottom; tolerably small young, 

 for example, have often been taken in the trawl which is dragged on the bottom, never however in 

 the pelagic net.
