as dark cross-stripes. The tail has only 5 dark bands. None of the- bauds show, as in the younger 

 stage, any sharp boundaries below, as the ground colour has here become dark, but they stand out 

 clearly against the yellow-white colour of the back and dorsal fin. The neck-baud is more strongly deve- 

 loped than in the younger individual ami extends from gill-cover to gill-cover as a narrow, light band. 

 The number of rays in the fins is in tolerably close agreement with that in the younger 

 specimen, namely 94 in the dorsal fin, 75 in the anal and 21 in the pectoral.

Lastly, amongst the specimens from the Kara Sea labelled by Liitken I., pallidas , I have 

 found a young Lycodes which undoubtedly belongs to the species L. seminudus ; this specimen is not 

 named with the other L. pallidas in L fit ken's report on the fishes of the Dijmphua Expedition, so 

 that L. has probablv regarded the determination as less certain. 



its proportions are as follows: 



Total length 87 mm. 



Length of the head 22,5 - 



I listance from snout to anus 40 — 



Height over the anus 8 



The length of the head is thus 25,9%, the distance between the snout and the anus 46 

 the height over the anus 9,2% of the total length, which numbers fall within those found in L. sc/ni- 

 midits. Just as certain a mark of recognition lies in the small pectorals whose length is only 

 10,3% of the total length; they contain 19 rays. 



Although the specimen is somewhat bleached, one can readily see that the colouration in the 

 main has been the same as in the smaller specimen just described, namely 8 broad, dark and dark- 

 bordered cross-bauds, 2 on the body and 6 on the tail, in addition a dark spot at the end of the 

 caudal fin; on the neck one can detect signs of a light cross-bancl. Scales have begun to appear on 

 the tail, at some distance behind the anus. 



It was taken by the Dijmphna Expedition in the Kara Sea at 92 fathoms depth. 



Distri bu ti on. 



A specimen was taken at West Greenland at each of the following localities: Godthaab, 

 Jakobshavn, Karajak Fjord (in the innermost part of Umanak Fjord, 200 meters depth) and I'manak, 

 also 4 specimens at Upernivik. At East Greenland the Nathorst Expedition of [899 took a 

 specimen as far up as 74 52' N.L. 17° 16' W.L. (S. from Shannon Island!, 350 meters, and 2 specimens in
