Remarks on Myctophum glaciale (Reinh.). v 
specimen 58 mm. total length, female with apparently ripe eggs 
according to Nordgaard (1917 p. 22.). 
2. Skjørnfjord. October 1910. Three specimens caught 
with prawn-trawl, total length 65—70 mm.; one of them a female 
with small eggs. (Nordgaard 1917 p. 22)’). 
[We have also the following record of the occurrence of 
M. glaciale in the Trondhjemsfjord. In the “Aarsberetning fra 
Kgl. Norske Videnskabsselskab, Trondhjem” 1910 p. 21 V. Storm, 
then curator of fish at the institution named, remarks: “On dissec- 
tion of a Gadus virens were found in the ventricle some specimens 
of sprat (Clupea sprattus) and 6 specimens of a small fish; though 
these specimens were half-digested it was evident from the profile 
of the head and what remained of luminous spots that they be- 
longed to Scopelus glacialis, — a species previously recorded 
only once or twice from here; probably it lives in shoals with 
the herrings like Scopelus elongatus’’. — Of the last-named species. 
shoals were observed in the Trondhjemsfjord between the years 
1879 and 1881, during the heriingfisheries. (See Collett 1903. 
p. 115).]

On the coastal banks west of Helgeland, 200—300 metres depth. 
Abt. 50 specimens (Bg. M.). They are all in poor condition, — 
length of body between 14 and 22 mm.; they belong to the same 
size-group with a maximum at 16—17 mm.

Surface, one specimen. (Bg. M.). Previously recorded by Grieg 
(1911 p. 27) who gives the length as 60 mm., and the locality as 
somewhere between Iceland and Bodø. The fish is, however, 
captured within the Norwegian faunal area, on the banks west of 
Bodø just above the slope down to the Norwegian Sea. 
) Nordgaard is of the opinion that these specimens “were partly 
digested i. e. ejected by some other fish during the haul”. The same he supposes. 
to be the case with the specimen from Roberg, it had been ejected in the dredge 
by some other fish that itself had escaped from the dredge.—I have had the 
Opportunity of seeing many specimens of M. glaciale taken by means of trawl;. 
the specimens are very often in bad condition, the scales are lost, the skin. 
and the soft flesh damaged, giving the fish an appearance of having been. 
subject to digestion.
