Seven large specimens, partly disintegrated, were taken from the stomach 

 of Salvelinus malma Walb. at Be.nard harbour. In the probosces of these speci- 

 mens the paragnatha of VI vaty from three to five, with four as the most fre- 

 quent number, these being large in size as is typical. The paragnatha of I 

 vary from one to four, in the latter case being arranged as at the angles of a 

 diamond-shaped area instead of in a line, as is more usual. The band across 

 VII and VIII with the smaller caudal paragnatha in all the specimens examined 

 in fewer series than usual. A specimen from Port Bur well on Hudson strait is 

 atypical in dentition, bearing in each area VI only two large stout teeth con- 

 tiguous with each other in a transverse line. The minor posterior denticles of 

 VII and VIII are comparatively few. 



This is a cosmopolitan species widespread in the Arctic and Antarctic 

 oceans and in the Atlantic and Pacific oceans along the European, American, 

 and European coasts.
