1. On the Spawning of the Lesser Sand-eel 

 (Ammodytes tobianus, L.). 



Some years ago an account of the eggs and larvse of the 

 sand-eels was given by the author in the ' Report of the 

 Fishery Board ' *, and little fresh light has been thrown on 

 the oviposition since that date, though the able paper by 

 Mr. A. T. Masterman gave much information about the life- 

 history and the rate of growth f, as founded on a careful 

 examination of a most extensive and valuable series from 

 various parts of Scotland. His conclusions from the larval 

 and young forms also fit in with the subsequent remarks.
