The size (of the only known specimen) 275 mm. D. 128. A. 116. P. 17. Distribution. Davis Straits, 393 The single .specimen to hand of this new species, which Liitken liad referred to L. vmrcsna Coll., though with some hesitation, is a female with small eggs in the ovary; the most important proportions are as follows: Total length 275 mm. Length of the head 34 — Distance from snout to anus 76 — Height over the anus 14 — Distance of fin from snout 55 — The form of the body is more elongated than in most of the species of the genus, the height over the anus being 5,1 "/„ of the total length. The greatest height of the bod\' lies over the anus; from this the height remains ahnost unaltered towards the head, and posteriorly decreases \-ery slowly and evenly towards the tail. The trunk itself approximates to the cylindrical, its thickness being only i''-—i'/^ times in the height, but the tail becomes gradually more strongly compressed. The anus lies far forward, its distance from the snout being 27,6% of the total % i.
