Marine Dredgings and other Natural History Materials, 175 
seas. Lctinosoma atlanticum, a slender species, with moder- 
ately long tail seta, and of which there was no Scotch record 
till within recent years, was comparatively common in a 
gathering from Upper Loch Fyne. Ameira longicaudata and 
Laophonte depressa are two species added to the British list 
within recent years, and not before reported from the West 
Coast. Porcellidium viride, a representative of a curiously 
depressed croup of Copepods, occurred in a gathering from 
Loch Bracadale, Skye. Cyclopicera nigripes, a handsome 
species, with the swimming-feet all more or less dark 
coloured, was obtained in a gathering from Loch Spelve, and 
in another collected off Duart, Island of Mull. Bomolochus 
Solece, a parasite Copepod on the black sole (Solea vulgaris), is 
from Lochnell Bay (Loch Linnhe), and is now first recorded 
for the West of Scotland. Another new West Coast record 
is the curious Monstrilla rigida (1. C. Thompson); it was 
obtained in a gathering from Mauchrie Bay, Arran. An 
interesting paper on the genus Monstrilla, by Gilbert Bourne, 
was published a few years ago. 
The Cirripedia are represented by only four species— 
Scalpellum vulgare, Balanus crenatus, Balanus Hamert, and 
Peltogaster pagurt. 
ECHINODERMATA. 
One or two interesting species belonging to this group have 
been obtained in the collection. The Rosy feather star, 
Antedon bifida (Pennant)=(Comatula rosacea, Forbes and 
others), was obtained both in the adult form and in the young 
stalked (crinoid) stage; it occurred in gatherings from the 
deep water of Loch Buy, Mull; the Gairloch, West Ross- 
shire; and Loch Boisdale, Outer Hebrides. The Bird’s-foot 
starfish, Palmipes membranaceus, is from two localities— 
viz., off Loch Buy and the Gairloch. The small and com- 
paratively rare Hehinus norvegicus was also obtained in the 
deep water of Loch Buy, Mull. 
FORAMINIFERA. 
The Foraminifera that have been identified in the collec- 
tion number forty-six species, a few of which appear to be 
moderately rare,
