54 ANNALS OF SCOTTISH NATURAL HISTORY 



occur in Scotland, the three others being Chthonius rayi, L. K., 

 which I took near Oban in April 1894; Chthonius orthodactylus 

 (Leach), which I have taken at Morningside and Aberlady ; and 

 the ubiquitous Obisium muscoruin, Leach. WILLIAM EVANS,

Diastylopsis resima (Kroyer} in Scottish Waters. This 

 Cumacean, which is abundant in one or two o the Norwegian 

 Fjords, and is probably "distributed along the whole coast of 

 Norway," has not hitherto been recorded from any British locality. 

 I have now, however, to report its occurrence in Scottish waters, a 

 number of specimens having been obtained in a mixed bottom 

 gathering collected 18 to 25 miles eastward of Fair Isle in October 

 last. T. SCOTT, Aberdeen. 



Diastylis eornuta (Boeck} in Scottish Waters. In my ' Notes 

 on Scottish Cumaceans,' published in the " Annals " for October 

 last, I omitted to include Diastylis eornuta (Boeck), which Spence 

 Bate described from Shetland under the name of Diastylis bicornis. 

 I also noticed this species in the same gathering with Diastylopsis 

 resima mentioned above. T. SCOTT, Aberdeen. 



Campylaspis suleata, G. O. Sars, in the Clyde. My friend the 

 Rev. A. M. Norman informs me that he found a single specimen of 

 this interesting species in 20 fathoms off Cumbrae on i5th August 

 1888. It is probably a rare form. We should remember, how- 

 ever, that, as Sars remarks, it is " nearly related " to the more 

 frequent Campylaspis costata, and may be easily passed over as a 

 form of that species. A more careful examination, if possible, 

 should therefore be made of all these minute Crustaceans.

Typhlotanais brevieornis (Lilljeborg) in the Moray Firth. 

 This little Isopod, which is only about 1.5 mm. (or T a T of an inch) 

 in length, has not previously been recorded for Britain ; indeed, no 

 member of the genus has as yet, so far as I know, been observed in 

 the British Seas. This is the more remarkable, seeing that in the 

 Norwegian fauna Typhlotanais is represented by no fewer than nine 

 species. They all appear to be deep-sea forms, and this perhaps 

 may be one reason why they have not hitherto been noticed around 

 our shores. The species mentioned above was obtained recently in 

 some material washed from a quantity of fine mud brought up from 

 a depth of 50 to 55 fathoms about 14 miles N.W. of Buckie. 

 T. SCOTT, Aberdeen.
