Liparis fabricii KROYER. 



Aug. 4, 1902. North of the peninsula. Gaasefjord. 1015 fath. 1 spe- 

 cimen. 



This specimen is of the following proportions, given in percentages 

 of the total length (111 mm.): the length of the head 25.2 per cent, 

 the height of the body above the middle of the suctorial disc 26.1 per 

 cent, the length of the eye 5 per cent., and the length of the longest 

 rays in the pectoral fin 18.9 per cent. The dorsal fin contains 48 rays, 

 the anal fin 40, and the caudal fin 11. 



To this species I moreover refer a few small specimens, although 

 in much doubt, on account of their bad state of preservation: 

 Aug. 30, 1901. Gaasefjord, 8 in. Clay and small stones with brown 



algae. 2 specimens. 

 Aug. 3 4, 1902. Gaasefjord. 1 specimen. 



Regarding the relation between Liparis liparis and L. fabricii, see, 

 in addition to the previously mentioned works of Knipowitsch and myself, 

 R. GOLLETT'S treatise on the fishes collected during the cruises of the 

 "Michael Sars" in the North Atlantic 1 . 



Lycodes mucosus RICHARDSON. 



July 7, 1899. Cape Rutherford. 



Of Ibis specimen there is only the head and the right pectoral 

 fin; but I nevertheless considered that it could be referred to the above 

 species. 



I has been quite a large specimen, probably about 300 mm. total 

 length, as the length of the head is 73 mm., reckoned from the point 

 of the snout to the end of the opercular flap. The greatest breadth of 

 the head, across the cheeks, is 46 mm., the length of the snout 24 mm., 

 the length of the eye (iris and pupilla) 8.5 mm. and its height 5.5 mm., 

 the smallest breadth of the frontal bone between the eyes 5 mm. 



The teeth are as described by RICHARDSON, there being yet only a 

 single row of teeth in front in the upper jaw. 



The length of the pectoral fin is 34 mm., and the number of its 

 rays 18.
