^ Coitus scoi'pius, Fabr. Malmgren’s assertion of the identity of C. 
/ grcenlandicus, C. V., and(7. scorpius, is confirmed by Collett (Norges Fiske, 
p. 24) and Liitken, 1. c. p. 370, who, however, retains the first name as 
designating ,a distinct variety, although it is not always possible to 
distinguish between specimens from Greenland and from Denmark,
