British coasts (omitting the west coast of England) 

 are here perhaps somewhat artificially divided into 

 three areas, which, with a few of the more im- 

 portant papers illustrating the local distribution 

 of Crustacea in Britain, are briefly enumerated 

 below. The northern and southern distribution 

 of the species in Europe is also indicated. In the 

 preparation of the former we have been chiefly 

 guided by the works of Lilljeborg, Goes, M. Sars, 

 and G. O. Sars ; as regards the latter we are mainly 

 indebted to Prof. Camil Heller's Die Crustaceen des 

 Sudlichen Europa. To the SchizoxDoda admirable 

 guides exist in Prof. G. O. Sars' monographs of the 

 Norwegian and Mediterranean Mysidae. It may be 

 stated generally that the marine fauna of the West 

 of Scotland presents a blending of northern and 

 southern species, several of the former apparently 

 not venturing as far as the English coasts. 



I. North Coast, including the Shetland Islands 

 and Moray Firth. The Rev. Dr. Norman was 

 among the first to point out that the fauna of 

 the latter district resembles that of the west 

 coast and Shetland Islands.
