Other characters, as an ampler (L. fabricii) or slighter (L. 

 liparis) pigmentation of Peritoneum, are no doubt of too little 

 consequence and too variable to be of any special importance. 



This is my impression with regard to the material which 

 has been at my disposal chiefly from West- and East-Greenland. 

 Possibly it will not agree with experiences from other seas. 



L. fabricii is evidently a more genuine arctic fish than 

 L. liparis. L. liparis is by far the more frequent at West- 

 Greenland, from East-Greenland we have only met with it at 

 the southmost part, on the contrary L. fabricii is very common 

 in the north. 



Liparis (Careproctus) reinhardti Kröyer. 



E. Lönnberg mentions (I.e. p. 13, sub nom. »Cyclogaster 

 gelatinosusn) this species among the fishes caught by the 

 Kolthoff- expedition 1900, at the North-eastern Greenland. 

 By letter Dr. L. kindly communicated to me the following par- 

 ticulars: 3 specimens were caught at the mouth of Franz Joseph 

 Fjord at a depth of 200 — 300 metres ; 1 specim. off Franz 

 Joseph Fjord between Bontekoe Ö and Mackenzie Bugt, where 

 the depth was 250 metres; and 1 specim. at 72° 25' lat. N. 

 17° 56' long. W. where the depth was 300 metres.
