surface townets as a free swiminer. On some occasions 

 when we have left a townet tied to a buoy all night, 

 numbers of this species have been ca^Dtured. 



Alteutha interrupta, Goodsir. (PL XXIV, fig. 1. a. h.) 

 Length 1.30 mm. Frequently found in similar situa- 

 tions to the last species. The shape of the terminal joint 

 of the fifth feet {h) and the number of the spines thereon 

 distinguish this from the preceding species. 



Alteutha crenulata, Brady. (PI. XXIV, fig' 2.) 

 Length 1 mm. A gaily coloured uncommon species. 

 Our examples have been taken in Eedwharfe Bay, Anglesea, 

 and about Puffin Island, chiefly amongst the littoral Algse. 

 Porcelliclium tenuicauda, Glaus. (PL XXIV, fig. 3.) 

 Length 1 mm. Our only specimen was dredged from 

 the "Mallard " (1892) outside Port Erin Bay in 20 fathoms. 

 Porcellidium viride, Philippi. (PL XXIV, fig. 3. a.) 

 Length 0.80 mm. One specimen only was dredged in 

 Port Erin Bay amongst mud, at 4 fathoms. The caudal 

 segments of this species {a) distinguish it from the pre- 

 ceding species. 



Idijafurcata, Baird. (PL XXIV, fig, 4.) 

 Length 1.25 mm. Common throughout the district 

 amongst Algae and in rock pools ; also common as a free 

 swimmer near the land. The tufts of plumose setae at 

 the apices of the spines of the first pair of feet at a glance 

 distinguish this species. 



SciUeUidmm tisboides, Glaus. (PL XXIV, fig. 5, a to c.) 

 Length 0.65 mm. One specimen only recorded in the 

 district, taken by townet in Douglas Bay. 



ScutelUdium fasciaticm, Boeck. (PL XXIV, fig. 5.dtof.) 



Length 1 mm. Not uncommon in tidal rock pools at 



Hilbre Island ; also dredged in Port Erin Bay, where it 



was also taken by townet during electric light illumination. 



One specimen, found in a tidal pool at Hilbre Island, has
