92 Rev. A. M. Norman on some Crustacea 



It has lately been added to the British fauna. Dr. Hen- 

 derson has forwarded to me specimens for examination which 

 were taken in the tow-net in the Firth of Forth bj the 

 Scottish Marine Station. I procured it in the same way in 

 July last in Loch Fyne, when with Mr. J. Murray on board 

 the ' Medusa,' the vessel of the Scottish Marine Station, and, 

 subsequently to my leaving, it was again taken by the 

 ' Medusa ' between the islands of Bute and Cumbrae ; and 

 now (February 1886) Prof. Ewart has found specimens in 

 the stomachs of herrings caught on the east coast, and ex- 

 amined by the Scotch Fishery Board.

It has been known to me as a member of the British fauna 

 for twenty-five years, having been first found by myself at 

 Shetland, and a few years afterwards sent to me about the 

 same time by Mr. David Robertson from the Firth of Clyde, 

 and by Mr. Thomas Edward from the Moray Firth.
