Both coasts of north Atlantic Ocean: on the American side ranging from Davis Straits, 

 and embracing Labrador, Newfoundland, Gulf of St. Lawrence, Gaspe Bay, Maritime

 coasts" (Yarrell, 1859); and coasts of Scandinavia and Baltic Sea southward to 

 coast of France. 



497. Eumicrotremus spinosus Miiller. 

 Marine. 



North Atlantic and Arctic Ocean: coast of Labrador: recorded from Davis Straits (Dresel 

 — a specimen from the stomach of a halibut): "trawled off Halifax Harbour by the

 tends southward to Maine and Denmark.

499. Neoliparis atlanticus Jordan and Evermann. 

 Marine: among rocky shores. 



The type from Godbout, Province of Quebec (in the United States National Museum at 

 Washington): ranges from Newfoundland, and perhaps Labrador (Gill, 1872, but 

 queried by Kendall), southward to Cape Cod: "taken off Halifax Harbour by the 

 'Speedwell' Expedition, August, 1877" (Jones, 1879, as Liparis montagui)* and re-

*Neoliparis atlanticus has repeatedly been confounded with the European species N. (Liparis) montagui. "The 

 published figures of N. montagui show a deeper fish with larger head and with the spinous dorsal very low, and 

 scarcely distinct from the soft rays." Jordan and Evermann.
