these crests in the males. In all the specimens I have exa- 

 mined from Greenland to the Kara- Sea, a small protuberance 

 is found on the parietal-crest in front of the large one, whether 

 the specimen is a female or a male ; the smaller protuberance 

 displays (as is also the case with the larger one) a different 

 degree of development, but it cannot on the whole be said to 

 be stronger in the males than in the females. 



A young one of this fish is represented in fig. 5, plate XI, 

 and mentioned p. 239. 



Note to the Synonymy. I have adopted the less current specific 

 name: bicornis for the follo^wing reason. In the above mentioned place 

 L Utk en writes that though he himself does not doubt that Reinhardt "s 

 insufficiently described Coitus bicornis is the same species as Kr oyer's 

 Icelus hamatus, the former specific name ought not to have the preference 

 because it has not been possible to find Reinhardts original specimen in the 

 museum here. With regard to this L. is right in so far as the specimen 

 from 1838 can no longer be pointed out. But in Reinhardts notes from the 

 year 1841, kept at the museum, I find mentioned still 3 specimens of Cottus 

 bicornis sent here from the missionary Jörgensen at Julianehaab; these 

 specimens are still kept in the museum, and have in the course of time 

 been relabelled Icelus hamatus Kr. As there is now no more room for doubt, 

 we ought to return to Reinhardts specific name as being the older one.

Lönnberg (I.e. p. 13) mentions it among the fishes, caught 

 by the Ro 1th off- expedition at the North-eastern Greenland. 



The species attains a considerable size at East-Greenland, 

 the largest female measuring 152 mm., the largest male 105 mm.
