Remarks on Myctophum glaciale (Reinh.). 13 
15. Between Greenland and JanMayen. 72° 12’N., 
14° 28' W. According to Day (1886 p.:571) a specimen of 
46 mm. was found alive at the surface-on August Ist 1886; 
temperature of the water and that of the air also 35° F. (= 1.677 C.). 
16. Icefjord, Spitzbergen. Klinckowstrom (1892 
p. 92) records *1 Scopelus miilleri juv.” as taken with a surface- 
net in the mouth of Bell Sound on August;2nd 1890. 
17. Northwest of Spitzbergen.si79% 49" N., 9° 45 E. 
One Specimen, 47 mm. (Knipowitsch 1901 p. 82). 
If we summarize the records enumerated above we obtain 
the following result:—From the Norwegian Sea are known about 
50 specimens of M. glaciale of all sizes from larvæ to fullgrown 
individuals; from the Norwegian coast are known 30 specimens 
with length from 35 to 76 mm. and a catch of abt. 50 young- 
fish from 14 to 22mm. The old point of view can not be 
maintained any longer, namely that the species is an occasional 
and rare guest in the waters to the north of the ridges separating 
the Norwegian Sea from the Atlantic. The material at present 
known from northern waters, though much accumulated by the 
investigations of late years certainly is not very exhaustive. It 
may, however, in my opinion be worth while to attempt a more 
general treatment, especially as I have had the opportunity of 
comparison with a larger material from the Atlantic. Some 
points of interest may, I think, be gathered with regard both to 
the biology of the species in general and to its place in the fauna 
of the North.
