inner and outer margins are clothed with fine cilia. 

 Caudal stylets long and narrow, being about five times 

 longer than broad and nearly twice the length of the last 

 abdominal segment. 



Male. Antennules ten-jointed, fifth and sixth joints 

 very small, hinged between the third and fourth joints 

 and also between the seventh and eighth joints. The 

 form of the fifth pair of feet is somewhat similar to those 

 of the female, but the inner branch is much smaller. 



Habitat, 1 mile off Spanish Head, Isle of Man, in 

 neritic material dredged from a depth of 16 fathoms, a 

 number specimens were obtained. 



BemarJcs. — This species in general appearance is not 

 unlike Ameira longicauclata but is readily distinguished 

 from it by the shape of the cephalothoracic segment and 

 on dissection by the characters described above. Nearly 

 all the specimens obtained had the last three joints of the 

 antennules broken off. 



Ameira reflexa, T. Scott.

 III., p. 240, 1894.] 



One or two specimens of this Ameira were obtained 

 from the shelly deposit dredged 1 mile off Spanish Head, 

 Isle of Man, depth 16 fathoms. The species is easily 

 distinguished from the other members of this genus by 

 the structure of the inner branches of the first pair of 

 swimming feet and also by the fifth pair of feet.

A considerable number of specimens of a copepod 

 apparently belonging to this species were washed from 

 mud adhering to samples of Mussels (Mytilus edulis) sent 

 from the St. Amies Mussel beds near Lytham, one of the 

 samples was from that part of the bed which never
