described by himself a few years ago from specimens 

 obtained off the west coast of Ireland dming the cruise of 

 the s.y. ' Argo.' 



In regard to Turbellaria, Mr. F. W. Gamble while 

 working at the Port Erin Biological Station last smnmer 

 drew up a list of species found in the neighbourhood. 

 This has been published in full in 'Trans. Biol. Soc, 

 Liverpool,' vol. vii. pp. 148-174. The list contains records 

 of twenty-eight species, representing twenty-three genera : 

 of these the following five species are new to British 

 seas : — Promesostoma ovoideum, P. lenticulatum, ByrsopJi- 

 lehs intermedia, Plagiostoma siclphureicm, Oligocladus 

 sanguinolentiis. We also find at Port Erin the elongated 

 pear-shaped opaque white cocoons of the Ehabdocoele 

 Fecanipia attached under stones in pools. 



The PoLYZOA collected on the various expeditions have 

 been examined by Miss L. K. Thornely, who also worked 

 at the Biological Station for a couple of weeks in August. 

 She reports that amongst the many forms collected, 

 amounting to 123 species and 14 varieties, four 

 species at least are new records to the district, viz., Alcy- 

 onidium mamillatum, Palmicellaria skenei, Crisia ramosa 

 and Lepralia edax, as well as five well-marked varities : — 

 Schizoporella linearis, var. hastata and a var. like cruci- 

 fera, Memhraniporella nitida the Devonshire var., Hip- 

 potlioa flagell'iim var. vitrea, and H. divaricata var. 

 carinata. 



The CoPEPODA obtained both by surface nets and also 

 from the mud and other material from the dredge have 

 yielded Mr. Thompson in all 136 species, of which eighteen 

 are new records to British seas and eleven are new to 

 science. These last are : — Ameira attenuata, Cletodes 

 monensis, Herdmania stylifera, Cyclops mariniis, Hersili- 

 oides puffini, Jonesiella Jiycencv, Laoplwnte spinosa,
