This species is represented by six small specimens from 

 IngleHeld Gulf; the largest measures 61 millim. in length 

 and the smallest 31 millim. 



Concerning its geographical distribution, Collett * states 

 that the species exists in a relatively southern region. In 

 the Arctic Ocean of Europe it is not caught further to the 

 north than in station 326 of the Norwegian North- Atlantic 

 Expedition at 75° 31' N. lat., and Nares's Expedition did 

 not obtain any specimen between 78° and 83° N. lat. The 

 comj)aratively numerous occurrence of this species in Inglefield 

 Gulf, between 77° and 78°, proves that it is more distributed 

 northwards than has hitherto been supposed, although ifc 

 perhaps ought to be looked for in those latitudes chiefly at a 

 lesser depth.

Thirteen small specimens were caught in " Fjaren " 

 (that part of the shore laid bare by ebb) at Godhavn ; their 

 size does not exceed 3 centim. Most of them belong to 

 Collett's variety hemigymnus^, distinguished by the absence of 

 osseous ])lates on the tail and on the greater part of the sides 

 of the body, as well as by the presence of ridges on both sides
