In the report of this voyage where the East-coast of Greenland was 

 navigated from about 70 — 75° lat. N. 4 species of fishes met with are men- 

 tioned (Appendix No. Ill, p. 423). One was the Greenland Shark [Somniosus 

 microcephalus Bl. Sehn.) which is here designated «Squalus horealis« ^). 

 The three others were found in the stomachs of Narwhals: «Raja batis« is 

 presumably wrongly determined as to species. "Gadus carbonariîi,s(?)« and 

 » Pleuronectes — ?» can only be determined as to genus.

Lieutenant Graah who explored the southern part of the East-coast of 

 Greenland mentions (p. 194) 8 species of fishes which he himself has seen 

 there. He mentions them partly by Danish and Greenland names, partly 

 by systematical names taken from 0. Fabric i i Fauna Groenlandica or 

 imparted to him by Professor Reinhardt sen. The species are: Gymna- 

 canthus tricuspis Reinh. («Ulkc" etc), Sebastes marinus L. («Rødfisk» etc.), 

 Salmo alpimis L. («Ørred» etc.), Mallotus villosus Müll. («Lodde» etc.), 

 Gadus callarias L. («Torsk» etc.), Gadus ogac Rich. («Torsk», «Ogak» etc.), 

 Hipipioglossus lnp})oglossoides Walb. («Helleflynder» etc.), Somniosus micro- 

 cephalus Bl. Sehn. («Hajfisk» etc.).

At page 169—173 Professor W. C. H. Peters mentions 6 species which 

 the above named expedition («The Germania-expedition») brought home from 

 Кар Broer Ruys, and from Jackson-, Clavering-, Sabine- and Shannon 0. 

 The species are: Cottus quadricornis L. («C. hexacornis Rich.»), Cottus 



The expedition also carried with them a large Otter-trawl, but faults in 

 the rigging and manoeuvring of it brought about that hardly any catch 

 was got by it wherefore it was quite given up after a few attempts, and 

 hereby the opportunity was unfortunately lost for rational deep-water 

 fishing. The Beam-trawl employed instead of the former only gave a 

 very slight yield of fish.
