 Ireland. By E. W. L. HoLT and L. W. Byrne. 



[Plate III.] 



The fislies described below were taken by Messrs. Farran and 

 Kemp in the course of fishery investigations carried out in the 

 ' Helga ' on behalf of the Fisiieries Branch of the Department 

 of Agriculture and Technical Instruction for Ireland. All 

 occurred in depths of less than 1000 fathoms and, conse- 

 quently, within the British and Irish marine area. 



Gadidse. 

 Genus L^MONEMA, Giinther. 



The definition of this genus appears to require revision and 

 should read as follows : — 



" Body of moderate length, covered with small scales. 

 Fins scaleless, their bases sometimes clothed with loose skin. 

 Two dorsal fins and one anal, anterior dorsal with 5 or 6 rays. 

 Caudal separated by a short interval from posterior dorsal 

 and anal. Ventrals apparently reduced to a single long ray, 

 bifid at its extremity; ether r<.ys, if present, minute and 

 closely apposed to the large ray. Bands of villiforrn teeth in 

 jaws ; a small group of vomerine teeth usually present. 

 Chin usually with a small barbel." 



Lcemoyiema seems, as Giinther (1887) has remarked, to 

 scarcely deserve generic separation from Phycis. The most 

 obvious distinction lies in the first dorsal fin, which in Phycis 

 has 8-12 rays and in Lcemonema 5 or 6. The presence or 

 absence of a barbel has no necessary generic value in Gadid* j
