Liparis fabricit Kroyer. 
Aug. 4, 1902. North of the peninsula, Gaasefjord. 10—15 fath. 1 spe- | 
cimen. 
This specimen is of the following proportions, given in percentages 
of the total length (111 mm.): the length of the head 25.2 per cent, 
the height of the body above the middle of the suctorial dise 26.1 per 
cent, the length of the eye 5 per cent., and the length of the longest 
rays in the pectoral fin 18.9 per cent. The dorsal fin contains 48 rays, 
the anal fin 40, and the caudal fin 11. 
To this species I moreover refer a few small specimens, although 
in much doubt, on account of their bad state of preservation: 
Aug. 30, 1901. Gaasefjord, 8m. Clay and small stones with brown 
algae. 2 specimens. 
Aug. 38—4, 1902. Gaasefjord. 1 specimen. 
Regarding the relation between Liparis liparis and L. fabricit, see, 
in addition to the previously mentioned works of Knipowitsch and myself, 
R. Cottett’s treatise on the fishes collected during the cruises of the 
“Michael Sars” in the North Atlantic! ( 
Lycodes mucosus Ricwarpson. 
July 7, 1899. Cape Rutherford. 
Of this specimen there is only the head and the right pectoral 
fin; but I nevertheless considered that it could be referred to the above 
species. 
I has been quite a large specimen, probably about 300 mm. total 
length, as the length of the head is 73 mm., reckoned from the point 
of the snout to the end of the opercular flap. The greatest breadth of 
the head, across the cheeks, is 46 mm., the length of the snout 24 mm., 
the length of the eye (iris and pupilla) 8.5 mm. and its height 5.5 mm., 
the smallest breadth of the frontal bone between the eyes 5 mm. 
The teeth are as described by Ricuarpson, there being yet only a 
single row of teeth in front in the upper jaw. 
The length of the pectoral fin is 34 mm., and the number of its 
rays 18.
