truncalula, and Pseudonima cercaria. No Isopods were observed. The 

 Amphipods comprised such forms as AmpelUca (?) a.<4iinlif, Halimedon 

 parvimanus, and Harpinia neglcrta. The only Ostracod noticed was 

 Gythere eniadata. The Copepods, as already remarked, formed the 

 principal part of the food of this sample. Lonijipedia (chiefly L. cownafa) 

 was abundant in three of the stomachs, frequent in other three, 

 and few or moderately rare in five ; Rohertsonia tenuis was observed 

 in four stomachs, and Eciinosoma xard in four ; Jonesiella spinulosa was 

 moderately rare in three, and Ameira rejiexa in one. Young IMollusca 

 Avere abundant in one of the stomachs examined, while in six the remains 

 of Annelids were found. It may be noted in passing that Pseicdocolanus 

 elongatus and Temora longlcornu were the only "pelagic" forms observed 

 in all the stomachs examined, and these two forms were very rare ; it 

 would thus appear that the Lunipenus collects its food chiefly from 

 amongst bottom fauna, and that the smaller Crustacea are the organisms 

 that are most in favour with the fish. 



The following tabulated list contains the names of all the species 

 observed in the stomachs examined.
