Snout (except in young) as long as or a little longer than eye, diameter of which is 4 (young) to 5§ in length of head; interorbital width 5 to 5. Lower jaw strongly projecting; maxillary extending to or nearly to below middle of eye; teeth irregularly bi- or triserial in upper jaw, uniserial in lower, those of outer series of upper jaw and most of those in lower jaw enlarged, spaced and canine-like; upper surface of head (except snout and prae- orbital), cheeks and opercles covered with smooth scales; about 9 rows of scales between the eyes; 14 to 16 gill-rakers on lower part of anterior arch. Scales on body smooth; Fig- 3i- Notothenia canina. x \. 78 to 84 in a lateral longitudinal series; 60 to 65 tubular scales in upper lateral line, which extends to midway between last ray of dorsal and caudal, 6 to 9 in lower lateral line.
