increasing in size anteriorly,“ does not agree with the features of the 
Norwegian specimen. The greatest height of the body in this indi- 
vidual is found about half way between the tips of the pectorals and 
the commencement of the ventral fins, and is at this spot 165 mm., 
whilst the height gradually decreases both to the front and back, and 
at the hindermost gill opening is but 135 mm., or about the same 
as half way between the ventrals and the commencement of the anal. 
The height of the head, measured across the angle of the mouth, is 
about 110 mm. 
The lens is situated above the space between the 5 and 6" rows 
of teeth in the upper jaw.

The teeth. In the specimen from the Varanger Fjord there are 
altogether 44 rows of teeth, there being in the upper jaw 11 on the 
right side, and on the left 12 rows. 
The first row contains 5 (three cusped) teeth; the second to the 
tenth row, each 4 teeth; the eleventh and twelfth only 3 small teeth. 
But at the inner end of each row the outline is visible of one more 
(three cusped) tooth lying flat under the skin, with its cusps pro- 
truding but slightly above it, ready to replace the foremost tooth 
when shed. 
The lower jaw contains one median row in front, and ten rows 
on each side. The teeth are almost similar to those of the upper jaw.! 
Garman’s typical specimen had 51 rows, each row containing 
6 teeth (besides the innermost, not fully developed tooth). The 
specimens examined by Dr. Giinther, had, as previously mentioned, 
also 6 teeth in each row. 
1 In the present specimen the second side row of the left lower jaw is abnormal, 
being double (with two closely adjoining rows, all the teeth in them being 
somewhat smaller than normal teeth).
