Sehastes marinus^ L., and S. viviparus, Kr. E.. Collett (Norges Fiske, 
p. 19) still regards these forms as belonging to one species ; on the 
other hand, '^iitken (Vid. Medd. 1876, pp. 358-363), after giving 
an historical account of the views of different ichthyologists on this 
question, states that from an examination of 20 specimens of each 
form, during which he never had any difficulty in referring the examples 
to one or other category, ho has come to the conclusion that the two 
species are perfectly distinct ; he also finds that they have a different 
distribution, S. viviparus being not only more littoral but less arctic in 
its range than S. marinus. The opinion formed by Gray and Gunther 
is thus confirmed. Liitken thinks that the Linnaean name should be 
Ladopted instead of that of norwegicus. .
