Anarrhichas minor (Olats). The southern limit for this 
Arctic or Sub.-Arctic species seems to be west of Haugesund (N. 
59° 25’) where a specimen was caught */1—08.

measuring between 110 and 135 mm. with a maximum at 125 
mm., one specimen 185 mm. total length. Coloration consisting 
of brown-black unregular spots and vertical bars; in some of 
the smaller specimens 6 bars may be distinguished but mostly 
the spots and the bars are confluent to each other. 
Lycodes vahli gracilis (M. Sars). This Scandinavian form 
of L. vahli was according to COLLETT till 1903 only known 
from three widely separated localities along our coast viz. 
Kristianiafjord, Trondhjemsfjord and the Finmark. The Bg. M. 
has two specimens from western Norway viz. Ryfylkefjord and 
the Norwegian Channel, west of the Sognefjord. 
Lycodes frigidus (Collett). "Arm. Hansen” stat. 3, 195

COLLETT (1905 p. 138) the spawning takes place in the autumn 
or the first winter-months; my small specimens would then be 
l9—" 4 years old; they have the form of the adult.

variety was established by JENSEN (1904) on 15 specimens from 
Jan Mayen. My specimen corresponds so well with the figur 
JENSEN has given of a specimen 106 mm. (2. c. Tab. V, Fig. 20.) 
that I have referred it to this variety, though hitherto — besides 
the typical L. pallidus Coll. — it is the variety squamiventer 
Jensen (1904) that has been taken on the slopes to the Norwegian 
Sea, west of Norway, somewhat far from the locality here mentioned. 
Lycodes (Lycenchelys) sarsi (Collett. 18 specimens in ail
