 L. sarsii S, the horizontal diameter of the eye amounts namely 

 to 2.9 *^/o of the total-length, the length of the pectoral fin to 

 7.9 %, the distance of the dorsal fin from the end of the snout 

 to 22.2 %. Moreover the colour pattern is quite different, in 

 L. kolthoffi very spotted, in L. sarsii on the contrary more uni- 

 form, only with indistinct shadings down the flanks.

There are no colour markings in any of the specimens 

 from Hekla Havn. The others on the contrary are ornamented 

 with dark transverse bands ; the specimen from Henry Land 

 has moreover no less than four ocelli on the dorsal fin. 

 the two front ones situated above anus, the two posterior 

 ones fully half a head's length behind them ; of the specimens

 and moreover a row of light spots along the base of the fin
