E. Lønnberg: The fishes of the Swedish zoological polar 

 expedition of 1900. Revue internationale de pêche et de 

 pisciculture. Vol. II, No. 4. St. -Péter sbourg 1900. 



Gives a list of the fishes which were caught by the Kolthoff- 

 expedition 1900, at the North-eastern part of Greenland, containing, besides 

 the above mentioned Lycodinœ which are partly designated by other names, 

 12 species whereof Triglops pingelii Reinh., Liparis (Careproctus) rein- 

 hardti Kr. {'■Cydogaster gelatinosus«) and Drepanopsetta platessoides Fabr. 

 were new to the fauna of East-Greenland. Dr. Lønnberg kindly imparted 

 to me, for use in this treatise, information with regard to some of the 

 rarer species. 



During the last years some rather considerable collections have more- 

 over been made by Danes at East-Greenland. The ichthyological results of 

 these collections will be mentioned for the first time in this treatise. We 

 are indebted for new contributions to the following gentlemen: 



Cand. med. & chir. K. Poulsen who was a member of Lieutenant 

 Amdrup 's expedition 1898 — 99, brought home from Angmagsalik and some 

 places north of it 10 species of fishes of which Liparis liparis L. was new 

 to the fauna. 



The late Mag. sc. So ren Jensen who was the zoologist of the Amdrup- 

 Har t z - expedition 1900 brought home a very considerable material of fishes, 

 from a quantitative point of view, taken at the tract from Sabine to Ang- 

 magsalik'). The collection contained 1 5 species of which iimipewMS medms 

 Reinh. was new to the fauna. This collection is of great importance because 

 we can thereby judge of the relative frequency of some species (compare 

 p. 214^15). A diary left by Jensen contained among other things some 

 biological notes about fishes from which some extracts are found in this 

 treatise. 



Johan Petersen, commercial manager, and Søren Nielsen, assistant, 

 at Angmagsalik, sent us respectively in 1900 and 1901 7 species of fishes 

 whereof Brosmiiis brosme Ascan. Avas new to the fauna. 



Mag. sc. Chr. Kruuse, who stayed at Angmagsalik 1901—02, for the 

 purpose of botanical studies, took the opportunity at my request of collec- 

 ting zoologically as well. He brought home 16 species of fishes, whereof 

 no less than 3 were unknown to the fauna of East-Greenland viz.: Lum- 

 penus maeulatus R. Fries, Omis reinharcUi (Kr.) Coll. and Macrurus fabricii 

 Sundev., and about others we had up till then only verbal records. I am 

 moreover indebted to Kruuse for much information about the fish life at 

 Angmagsalik. 



M On the way the expedition called at Jan Mayen, where however only the 

 following fishes were taken (June 25—28): Coitus scorpius L., 1 specimen 

 (depth: 15 fathoms); Icelus bicornis Reinh., 9 specimens (depth: 50 — 

 60 fathoms); Lumfenus maeulatus B. Fries. 1 specimen (depth: 50—60 

 fathoms).
