Angmagsæt-place (that is the place where the Angmagsaet are 

 caught); compare Mallotus villosus p. 275. 



G. Holm mentions (I.e. p. 54) Halibut M among the fishes 

 found at Angmagsalik adding that the Eskimo get them when 

 they are brought to the surface by the Crested Seal. I suppose 

 that by «Halibut» is meant this species whose particular name 

 generally is «The small halibut» or »Hellefisk». 



Drepanopsetta platessoides Fabricius. 



Angmagsalik. 15.4.1901. From a Shark's stomach. 



2 specim. Ca. 150—210 mm. 



The above mentioned specimens were sent home by So ren 

 Nielsen (commercial assistant); they are half way digested, 

 but can with certainty be classified as «Long-Rough Dabs». 



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

 by the К ol th off- expedition 1900, at the North-eastern Green- 

 land. According to a communication by letter from Dr. L. it 

 was caught at 72° 25' lat. N. 17° 56' long. W. at a depth of 

 300 metres. Only 1 specimen was caught. 



Paralepididæ. 



Paralepis kröyeri Lütken. 



1842. Paralepis borealis Kroyer (nee Reinhardt) in Gaimard: Voyages en 



Scandinavie, en Laponie etc., Poissons, PI. 16, B, Fig. 1. 

 1891. Paralepis kröyeri Lütken, Vidensk. Medd. Naturh. Foren. Kbhvn. p. 230. 



A specimen of this Paralepid about 263 mm. long was 

 found dead , drifting in the water in Sermiligak Fjord N. of 

 Angmagsalik in Sept. 1892. The body is curved and bent so 



') It is not correct when Bay (1. с p. 58) writes that according to Captain 

 Holm Hippoglossus vulgaris (Fleming) is found at Angmagsalik. Holm 

 uses the more vague expression «Halibut».
