The present specimen was caught in a net, at Buggnees, in the 
Varanger Fjord (69° 45’ N. Lat.) on the 4 August 1896, which had 
been set at a depth of about 100 to 150 fathoms for catching coal-fish 
(Gadus virens). 
As the general characteristics of the fish will be known from the 
more or less detailed descriptions which have been published, I 
shall just add a few remarks concerning the new individual, or as to 
how far it has to any extent supplied materials wherewith to supplement 
the previous descriptions. 
The specimen was a fully developed female, its total length being 
1910 mm.; thus it is the largest specimen of the species of which I 
have any knowledge. The largest of those from Japan, described by 
Dr. Garman and Dr. Giinther, were females of a length of 1474 to 
1580 mm., while the smallest was that from Madeira whose length 
was 610 mm. 
The measurements were as follows:
