MARINE BIOLOGICAL STATION AT PORT ERIN. 183 



Licliomolgus maximus, Monstrilla longicornis, Stenhelia 

 denticulata and S. hirsuta. These new species are all 

 described in full, and figured, in Mr. Thompson's ' Kevised 

 Keport upon the Copepoda of Liverpool Bay,' just pub- 

 lished (August, 1893) in 'Trans. Liverpool Biol. Soc.,' 

 vol. vii., so it is perhaps unnecessary to give any further 

 details here. 



Since the pubHcation of his report Mr. Thompson has 

 also worked over a good deal of material, partly fish parasites 

 and partly taken from the stomachs of the young fish ex- 

 amined by Mr. Corbin in the Fisheries laboratory at Univer- 

 sity College. He reports as follows : — 



{a) Parasites — From the Cod — Caligus rapax and G. 

 curtus. From the Hake — Anchorella appejidicu- 

 lata. From Flounder and from Arnoglossus 

 megastonia — Lepeoptheirus pectoralis. From 

 Sprat — Lerneonema spratta. 

 (h) From stomachs of young Plaice, chiefly from More- 

 cambe Bay — most contained quantities of Har- 

 pacticidae, chiefly Jonesiella liijcencR in quantity, 

 also numbers of Longipedia coronata and 

 Gaiiuella perplexa ; with these in most of the 

 tubes were a few Cumacea and Amphipoda. 

 Three of the above Copepoda are new to the dis- 

 trict, viz., Lepeoptheirus pectoralis, Anchorella appendicu- 

 lata, and C anuella perplexa . 



The Higher Crustacea have been examined, and to a 

 large extent collected, by Mr. A. 0. Walker, who has 

 supplied the following lists and notes, which record only 

 the more noteworthy additions to the local fauna : — 



SCHIZOPODA. 



Erythrops elegans, G.O.S., 8 miles west of Fleshwick, 

 33 fathoms.
