we dredged off Clay Head and Gar wick are noteworthy for 

 being the largest yet found in our district. 



Mr. I. C. Thompson has been engaged for some time on 

 a "Kevision" of the L.M.B.C. Copepoda, which will 

 incorporate the work of his previous reports with all the 

 recent ''finds " in this group — " finds" which during this 

 last season have been astonishing in their number and 

 quality. I have suggested to Mr. Thompson to give in 

 this ' Eevision,' (which will be laid shortly before a meeting 

 of the Biological Society) a simple outline figure, with 

 details of the diagnostic points, of every species ofL.M: 

 B.C. Copepoda, an addition which while entailing a great 

 deal of extra labour on the author, will I am sure increase 

 greatly the usefulness and value of his paper. 



Mr. Thompson reports 

 to me as follows : — " Over 

 '20 species of Copepoda new 

 to the district have been 

 added to our record during
