LlLLJEBORGIID^. 



Lilljphorgia kinalumi (Bate) occurred in some dredged material collected 

 at Stations III. and VI., Firth of Forth, in May and June ; the species 

 appears to be somewhat rare in the Firth of Forth. 



PHOTID.E. 



The following species belonging to this family were observed during 

 the year. Leptocheirus pilosus, Zaddach, was dredged at the north-west 

 end of Inchkeith on May 23rd. (This is the form described by G. 0. 

 Sars, having a six-jointed accessory appendage to the antennules.) 

 Protomedeia fasciata, Kriiyer, was obtained on several occasions in the 

 stomachs of fishes. 



Megami^liojmii cnrnutus, Norman, was dredged at Smith Bank, Moray 

 Firth, on February 15tli, and also at Stations III. and V., Firth of 

 Forth, in April and ^lay, 1901 ; it was also observed in the stomachs of 

 small Whiting captured off Aberdeen on September 3rd. 



COROPHIID^. 



I record two species belonging to this family. Corophium qfline, 

 Bruzelius, a male specimen, was obtained in the stomach of a small 

 Whiting collected about ten miles off Aberdeen, in 55 to 60 fathoms, on 

 September 3rd, 1901. Unciola planipes, Norman, was obtained in 78 

 fathoms about 110 miles north-east of Buchan-ness on May 15th, 1901. 



DULICHIIDiE. 



Three species of DuUchia have during the past year been obtained in 

 the Firth of Forth. DuHchia j)orrecta, Bate, was dredged at the west 

 end of Station III. on May 23rd, and DuHchia falcata, Bate, at Station 

 V. on April 24th. DuHchia monacantha, IMetzger, which is new to the 

 crustacean fauna of the Forth, was obtained in dredged material from 

 Stations V. and VII. in April ; all three species have also been observed 

 in stomachs of fishes examined during the year. 



Sub-Order ISOPODA. 



Typhlotanais hrevicornis (Lilljeborg). This minute isopod, which is 

 only about 1-5 mm., was dredged in 50 to 55 fathoms, about 14 miles off 

 Buckie, on November 3rd, 1900. So far as I know, this is the first 

 representative of the geuus Typhlotanais which has been recorded from 

 the British seas. 



Idothea granulosa, Eathke. PI. XXV., fig. 41. 



Two specimens of a small LJofhea captured in the Bay of Nigg on 

 March 23rd, 1901, agree with the Idothea granulosa of Eathke, as 

 figured in Sars' Isopoda of Norway. The specimen represented by 

 the drawing is a female with ova, and measures about 12-7 mm. (^ an 

 inch) in length. 



Sub-Order SYMPODA. 



The following, amongst other species belonging to this sub-order, have 

 been observed : — Iphinoe serrata, Norman, was obtained in a gathering 

 collected to the east of Shetland on the 15th of May. Diastylis rostrata
