The single specimen present, a young individual of iiS mm., stands very near to Lycodonii s flage Ih'cmtda^ but in proportion to the total length, the length of the head is 12 " ,,, the distance between the snout and the anns 21,6 '''o and the distance of the dorsal fin from the snout 15,3 °/o- P- 15- Distribution. North Atlantic Ocean S. from Iceland, 1089 fathoms. As there is but a single and young specimen to hand, only the above preliminary characteri- sation of the species can be given. This specimen has in the main the same characteristic appearance as the young L. ftagelli- cauda and is hardh- to be distinguished from these on superficial obser\-ation. Rut the measurements show that the head is shorter, that the anus lies further forward and that the dorsal fin begins nearer the head. These features will appear on comparison with three L. flagelHcaiida of similar length: Lycodonus flagellicauda Z. ophidium TotaU. | , Total!. Total!. no mm. 112 mm. 1 114 mm. iiS mm.
