FISHES. 557 



118. G. LUSCUS, L. Bred Torsk. The Bib Pout. D. 



May be at once known from any other member of the 

 family by the depth of the body, which is more than 

 the length of the head, and the long anal fins, the first 

 of which commences nearly in a line with the first dorsal. 

 Is rare in Scandinavia, and scarcely ever exceeds a foot 

 in length. D. 12 + 20 + 30 ; A. 29 + 20. The lateral 

 line is black, and there is a black spot at the origin of 

 the pectorals, as in the whiting. Size of the eyes equal 

 to the distance between them and the point of the nose. 



119. G. MINUTUS, L. Glys Torsk. The Power, or poor, 



Cod. D. 



This, the smallest of all the family, rarely exceeding 8 

 to 10 in., may be known at a glance from the last, which 

 it otherwise much resembles, by the shorter first dorsal 

 fin, and by its different position, which is entirely 

 before the first anal. Is never met with in the Baltic, 

 rare in the Sound, and not common anywhere in these 

 seas, although it is found, I believe, all through the 

 year on the coast south of Gothenburg, and as far up as 

 Bergen. Anal opening under the hinder edge of the 

 first dorsal fin; eyes much larger than the distance 

 between them and the point of the nose. D. 13+21 

 + 20; A. 26 + 21. 



120. G. ^GLEFINUS, L. Kolja. The Haddock. D. F. 



May always be known by the white colour, the black 

 lateral line, and the large black spot under the first 

 dorsal. Is common in the Cattegat, Sound, and 

 North Sea, even as far up as Tromsoe, but never in the 

 Baltic. Usual length here 12 in. to 16 in., but they are 

 occasionally taken as large as 2 ft. Anus placed under 

 the front edge of the middle dorsal fin. D. 15 + 22 

 + 21; A. 25 + 22. 



(2). With no barbule under the chin. 



121. G. MEELANGUS, L. Hvitling. The Whiting. D. 



Is known by its silvery colour, and the black spot over
