Da\-is vS traits, 393 ) The single specimen to hand of this new species, which L lit ken had referred to L. miirceiia Coll., though with some hesitation, is a female with small eggs in the o\'ary; the most important proportions are as follows: Total length 275 mm. Length of the head 34 — Distance from snout to anus 76 — Height o\'er the anus 14 — Distance of dorsal fin from snout 55 — The form of the bod\' is more elongated than in most of the species of the genus, the height o\-er the anus being 5,1 ",o of the total length. The greatest height of the body o\-er the anus; from this the height remains almost unaltered towards the head, and posteriorh- decreases \-er\- slowly and evenh' towards the tail. The trunk itself approximates to the cylindrical, its thickness being only V-^^—V-j^ times in the height, but the tail becomes gradually more strongh' compressed. The anus lies far forward, its distance from the snout being 27,6 '^'/„ of the total Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Danish Ingolf
