. The Danish Ingolf-Expedition. Scientific expeditions; Arctic Ocean. 54 Tlie head is less tlian in some of the Lycodes species here treated of, its length being only 17,3 °,„ of the total length. For the rest it has a thick and plnmp appearance; seen from the side, the npper and lower edges converge slightly forwards, and the end is bhmt; seen from above it narrows a little towards the broad rounded end of the snout. The e\-es are placed so high up that their upper margin projects a little in front of the forehead; their longitudinal diameter is 5'^ times in the length of the head
. The Danish Ingolf-Expedition. Scientific expeditions; Arctic Ocean. 54 Tlie head is less tlian in some of the Lycodes species here treated of, its length being only 17,3 °,„ of the total length. For the rest it has a thick and plnmp appearance; seen from the side, the npper and lower edges converge slightly forwards, and the end is bhmt; seen from above it narrows a little towards the broad rounded end of the snout. The e\-es are placed so high up that their upper margin projects a little in front of the forehead; their longitudinal diameter is 5'^ times in the length of the head; seen from above, the distance between the eves is equal to the diameter of the eye. The length of the snout to the e\ e, is about 3+- times in the length of the liead. The lower jaw extends almost as far forward as the upper, whose posterior angle lies under the anterior third of the eye. The lips are thick. The tubular nostrils are well-developed. Of large, cup-shaped pits there is a no small number: i behind the eye, towards the upper side, 5 under and in front of the eye, i behind and i in front of the nostril, 8 on the preoperculum and mandible, lasth- i on the neck.
