Genus Leptomysis, G. 0. Sars. 

 Leptomysis gracilis, G. 0. Sars. 



Survey — Station 118. Ballinskelligs Bay, G fathoms, sand. 21st August, 

 1890. 



Station 121a. Inside the Nymph Bank, off Ballycottin, 41 fathoms, sand. 

 28th August, 1890. 



Station 130. Kenmare river, off Sneem, 24 fathoms, mud. 30th March, 

 1891. 



No Previous Irish Record. 



Distribution.— E. Scotland ; Shetland (A. M. N.*) : Plymouth (W. Gar- 

 stang !). 



Norway; Boulonnais, France (A. M. N.*) : North Sea, central parts (Ehren- 

 baum). 



L. gracilis does not figure in Walker's records from the Irish Sea, so that a 

 considerable gap occurs in the recorded distribution of this species on the British 

 coasts. On the south and east coasts of England the gap is possibly due to want 

 of observation, but it is much less likely that any Schizopod, abundant on the W. 

 coast of England and Scotland, should escape the attention of Mr. Walker and 

 Mr. Thomas Scott. 



An abnormal example in the Irish collection has one large median terminal 

 spine on the telson, and two large postero-lateral spines, which each appear to 

 have been separated from the median by one (possibly two) small spines, now 

 missing. Many lateral spines have been lost by the telson, and the antennal 

 scales are imperfect, but the hispid skin and characteristic rostrum sufficiently 

 associate the specimen with L. gracilis. 



Leptomysis mediterranea, G. 0. Sars. 



Survey — Station 145. Killeany Bay, Aran. 8th April, 1891. 



A single specimen, 18 mm. long, caught in a small calico trawl. The large 

 number of setse on the distal joints of the antennal scales is noteworthy = 12 on 

 the internal, 16 on the external border. 



Ilarine laloratory. — Mouth of Killeany Bay, 25th March, 1899. 



No Previous Irish Record. 



Distribution. — Channel Islands; Starcross, Devon (A. M. N.*): Plymouth (W. 

 Garstang !). 



Spain; Mediterranean (A.M.N.*): Heligoland (Ehrenbaum).
