FISHES. 591 



the head rudiments of eyes are to be distinguished. The 

 only species known to us is about 2 in. long. 



185. B. LANCEOLATUM, Pall. LansettFisk. The Lancelot. D. 



Is certainly the lowest type of vertebrate animals. 

 Seems to have been first described by Pallas in 1774. 



It is occasionally,, but very rarely, taken off the sandy 

 shores of the southern coast of Scandinavia. 



ADDENDA TO THE SCANDINAVIAN FISH. 



Since completing this list, I have seen in the last 

 number of the " Kongl Yet. Acadam. Forhandlingar " for 

 1863, that two new species of thunny have just been added to 

 the Scandinavian fauna. 

 Auxis VULGAKIS, Cuv. and Yal. The Plain Bonito. 



One specimen, 17 in. 2 1. in length, was caught in 1863, 

 off the coast of Scania, and deposited in the Lund Museum. 



The other, which has hitherto never been taken north of 

 the Mediterranean, is the 

 THYNNUS THUNNINA, Cuv. and Val. 



One specimen, 2 ft. 9^- in. long, and weighing 22-|- lb., 

 was caught near Malmo in 1857. 



If we now add these two new species, the Scandinavian 

 fish will reach 187, and the "above list will be correct up to 

 1864. 



It will be seen that the fish of Sweden and Norway 

 are . . . . .187 species. 



Denmark . . . . 139 



Finland . . . . 80 



Seven species are included in the Danish fauna, which 

 are not known in Sweden or Norway 



Gdbius micropSj Kroy. 



Julis vulgaris, Cuv. The Kainbow Wrasse. 



Platessa laxicola. A species of flounder which I can- 

 not make out. 



Clupea schoneveldii, Bloch.
