Concerning the colour, Collett states that old males seem as a rule to be more uniform than the females usually are at the same stage. The same holds also, but in greater degree, for the specimens from Greenland. Reproduction. According to Collett, L. vahlii (^^) spawns in the Skager Rak from July to October; the greatest number of eggs he found in a female was 30—48 and their maximum size was reckoned to 4 mm. in diameter. In a female 210 mm. long, taken on July 8th, 1899 at Seydisfjord on the east coast of Iceland, I find on the contrary not less than 93 eggs, whose size is 4,5 mm. in diameter (in addition, this female contained some individual eggs, obviously late in development, and numerous small eggs reserved for the next spawning period). The Greenland specimens do not throw much light on the breeding conditions, partly on account of the bad state of preservation, partly because data with regard to the catch are.
