As supplementary information I shall only state the proportions of the 8 specimens from the Skager Rak at my disposal, mentioning the sex; it will thus appear that the differences in propor- tions are not great in adult individuals (cf. ). 1) In small specimens (44—62 mm. long) 14,9—17,500, according to Collett. 2) , :. > 29,8-32,800, i) Concerning the separate localities where the species was taken, cf.
