O n some new discoveries of L y c o d e s. 



Dr. phil. Job. Schmidt, who conducted the zoological investigations of the Danish steamer 

 Thor at Iceland during 1903, has had the goodness to show me the Lycodes taken during this cruise. 

 Of special interest were the following: 



Lycodes vahlii Reinh. This species occurs, in addition to what has been stated previously 

 (p. 21) at west, north and east Iceland, also at south Iceland, as the -Trior > took 3 young specimens 

 at 63 15' N.L. 20 4' W.L., at a depth of 326—216 m. 



Lycodes frigidus Coll. 1 specimen was taken in the polar depths off north-east Iceland (66° 19' 

 N.L. 10 45' W.L.I where the depth was 1440 m., bottom-temp. — o°92 C. 



Lycodes pallidas Coll. 1 specimen was taken in the polar depths off north-east Iceland (66° 2' 

 N.L. 11 5'W.L.), where the depth was 1040 — 900 m., bottom-temp. — o°58 C. 



Lycodes scminiidus Reinh. 3 specimens (2 $$, 31—36 cm. long, 1 ?, 33 cm. long, all uniformly 

 coloured) were taken in the polar depths off north-east Iceland (66 c 2' N.L. n° 5'W.L.) where the depth 

 was 1040—900 m., bottom-temp. — o°58 C. 



Literature published (or coming into the hands of the author) 

 after the end of the year 1902. 



R <">mer unci Schaudinn: Fauna Arctica. II, 1, 1901. Die Fische von E. Ehrenbaum. 



In this general treatise (p. 123) Prof. Ehrenbaum mentions that Romer and Schaudinn in 1898 

 took a small Lycodes (67 mm. long) N.W. from Ross Island at a depth of 85 m.; this specimen E. refers 

 to L. reticulatus Reinhardt (in the synonymy-list including with others, L.rossi Malmgr.); further, that 

 the Olga-Expedition took 2 specimens of Lycodes (1S0 and 250 mm. long) at the entrance to Green 

 Harbour in 145 — 180 m. depth, both of which had to be referred to the reticulatus-groiip. 



All these 3 specimens belong without doubt to Lycodes rossi Malmgren. 



R. Collett: Om tre for Norges Fauna uye Fiske. Arch. f. Math, og Naturvidensk. B. XXV. 

 Nr. 2. 1903. 



On p. 14 — 26, Collett discusses the Lycodes rossi Malmgr. taken by the Michael Sars» in 

 Porsanger Fjord and at Spitzbergen, and mentions also a specimen from the bank south from Bear Is- 

 land, depth 130 111., bottom-temp, -j- o°5 C. 1 ). Concerning the delimiting of the species Prof. C. has a 

 similar opinion to my own, being however inclined to consider L. lictkenii Coll. as the fully grown 

 stage of L. rossii ; I have set forth my own views, on this point on p. 61. 



') When Collett (p. 26) also gives L.rossi as from East Greenland, that is incorrect, but the fault lies entirely with 

 myself, as 1 at a certain time considered the East Greenland Lycode, which I have named L. reticulatus Reinh. var. macro- 

 cephalus in the present work, to be identical with L. rossi and had informed Prof. C. of this.
