476 ON THE FISHES OF THE LATE ARCTIC EXPEDITION. [Jutie 5, 



of which were not contained in Ciipt. Feilden's collection, as will be 

 seen from the following list : — 



I. Marine Species, collected in Franklin-Pierce Bay, 

 August 11, 1875. 



1. ICELUS HAMATUS, KrOJ. 



2. Triglops pingelii, Reinh. 



No specimens of this fish were previously in the national collec- 

 tion. It appears to be much scarcer than the preceding. Exter- 

 nally the ventral fin appears to be composed of three rays ; but on 

 dissection four long rays and one rudimentary one are found. 



3. Cyclopterus spinosus, adult'. 



Ova contained in the same bottle as these specimens are of the 

 size of large hemp-seed. 



4. LiPARis fabricii, Krciy. 



5. Gymnelis viridis, Fabr. 



6. Gadus fabricii, Rich. 



II. Freshwater Species obtained from Lakes in Discovery Bay. 



1. Salmo alipes, Rich. 



Of this species two examples were obtained, about I.t inches 

 long ; it is a well-marked species of Charr, characterized by the 

 deep radiating and concentric striation of the gill-covers. The 

 typical specimens were obtained in Boothia Felix ; so that this Charr 

 has an unsually wide range. Colour silvery, with scarcely any 

 pinkish tinge. Caec. pyl. 41. 



2. Salmo naresii, n. sp. 



The body much elongate, its greatest depth being one fifth, or 

 even one sixth, of the total length, without caudal. The length of 

 the head is one fourth or two ninths of the same length, and nearly 

 one half of the distance between the snout and the vertical from the 

 origin of the dorsal fin. The snout is obtuse, the forehead flat ; and 

 the maxillary extends in the male to the vertical from the hind 

 margin of the orbit, but in the female it is somewhat shorter. Teeth 



* Cyclopterus lumpus we did not receive either from Capt. Feilden or Mr. 

 Hart. It does not seem to extend so far northwards as C. spinosus. Mr. 

 Horner, the Naturalist of the 'Pandora,' to whom we are indebted for several 

 valuable additions to our series of Arctic animals, collected very j'oung examples 

 in lat. 64° 53' and long. 53° 20' W. attached to Fucus vesicula. He remarks 

 (hat these little fishes are very similar in form and colour to the air-vessels ol' 

 tliat plant.
