CoTTIUiE. 
Coitus scorpiuSj C. grdnlandicuSf C. labradoricus (Girard), Acanthocottus 
oceltatus (Storer), C. glacialis (Ilichards.) are regarded by llr. Malm- 
gren as one species. [From his account, it would appear that the number of 
dorsal rays in Scandinavian specimens is generally larger by two than in 
those from the western coasts of Europe } and a reexamination of series of 
examples is desirable]. This species occurs in Spitzbergen. QEfvers. Svensk.
