4 Canon A. M. Nonnan — N'otes on the 



Cumbrae and let down the dredge in about 20 fathoms. It 

 came up filled with nothing but decaying seaweeds, which 

 had been drifted together to that spot and which looked 

 absolutely rubbish. But long experience had taught me 

 that the most unlikely places sometimes produce most inter- 

 esting things. I consequently worked some of this dead stuff 

 through sieves in a tub of water, and that water having been 

 passed through a muslin bag, the contents of the bag was 

 bottled. Very few Crustacea were found on examination, 

 but nevertheless there were three species new to Britain and 

 two of them new to science — the Cumacean Campylaspis 

 sulcata, G. O. Sars, the present species of Ancoraholus, and a 

 second species of the same genus. 



It is curious that two years after I should have a second 

 time met with A. mirahilis at such a distance from its first- 

 known habitat in the Varanger Fiord. 



Notes 0n some Copepoda from the Arctic Seas collected in 1890 

 by the Rev. Canon A. M. Norman, F.R.8. By Thomas 

 fcCOTT, F.L.S. 



The Copepoda recorded here are for tlie most part members 

 of the family Harpacticid^e, but a few belong to other groups ; 

 they were collected by the Rev. A. M. Norman about the end 

 of June and beginning of July, 1890, while on a visit to the 

 Lofoten Islands and East Finmark, and I desire to express 

 my indebtedness to him for permitting me to examine and 

 record them. I have also to acknowledge the valuable 

 assistance rendered by my son, Mr. Andrew Scott, in the 

 identification of the smaller and doubtful species and for the 

 drawings necessary to illustrate some of the descriptions of 

 rare or apparently new forms. 



The species and varieties recorded number sixty-four, and 

 they belong to thirty-two genera. The localities where they 

 were obtained are as follow : — Svolvaer, Lofoten Islands ; 

 and in East Finmark from Lakse Fiord, Vadso, Varanger 

 Fiord, Bog Fiord, and Klosterelv Fiord. The following are 

 the species identified or described : — 



Fam. Calanidae. 



Genus Calanus, Leach, 1816. 



Calanus finmarchicus (Gunnerus). 



One or two specimens, slightly immature, but apparently 

 belonging to this species, were obtained in a gathering from 

 Boil- iiord.
