28 ANNALS OF SCOTTISH NATURAL HISTORY 



COTTUS SCORPIUS, Linn. Short-spined Sea Bullhead. 



I captured a fine and highly coloured example of this 

 Bullhead in a rock-pool at North Berwick on the 2Oth of 

 August 1894. This specimen was 10.87 inches in length, 

 and weighed 328 grammes = 11.55 ozs - The head and sides, 

 above the lateral line, were beautifully and plentifully varie- 

 gated with bright pink ; the pectoral and anal fins were 

 broadly margined with rich orange, and the bars on the 

 caudal fin were also of this last-named tint. 



GASTEROSTEUS SPINACHIA, Linn. Fifteen-spined 



Stickleback. 



A particularly large specimen, captured in a rock-pool at 

 North Berwick on the 27th of August 1894, was 7.57 inches 

 in length and weighed 16.3 grammes = .5 7 oz.

FROM SCOTLAND.

 Naturalist to the Fishery Board for Scotland,

PLATE II. 



IN the following Notes we propose, first, to describe two new 

 species of Copepoda, belonging apparently to the genus 

 Leptopsyllus, a somewhat curious genus recently instituted ; 

 and, second, to give additional records indicating an extension 

 of distribution for several species already described. 



DESCRIPTIONS OF TWO NEW SPECIES OF LEPTOPSYLLUS. 



Preliminary Remarks. The genus Leptopsyllus was in- 

 stituted for a somewhat abnormal and very slender form of 

 Copepod captured in the Forth, a few miles west of Oueensferry,
