| Summary: | Nine specimens of the rare fish Lipogenys gilli Goode and Bean, 1895, previously known from a single specimen taken off Maryland in 1887, were taken between 1957 and 1970 along the continental slope of the Nova Scotian Shelf to southwestern Grand Bank, at depths of about 400–800 m. These specimens, 238–375 mm in standard length, have a remarkably low variation in vertebral number (228–234). From the additional specimens the description of the species is considerably extended. |
