Leptopodiad^. 



Stenorhynchus rostratus (Linn.). 



Prestonpans {Ed. Mus.) ; Firtli of Forth 



on mud and sand, generally distributed 



(Howd.). 



This species, the S. 'phalangium of authors, 



is not uncommon. We have dredged it

Very abundant. We have often taken it 

 between tide marks at Newhaven, Aber- 

 dour, and other places, and have dredged 

 it off Longniddry in 14 fathoms, and in 

 Aberlady Bay and on the oyster bank in 

 5 fathoms. It occurs in almost every 

 dredgeful in the lower reaches of the 

 Firth. 



ff. coarctatus (Leach). 



Largo Bay, Inchkeith, etc. {M'B.) ; Firtli 

 of Forth (Leach, in Brit. Mus). 

 This species was first discovered in the 

 Firth of Forth by Dr Leach. It is fairly 

 common but less plentiful than H. araneus. 

 We have obtained it south-west of Inch- 

 keith, 5 fathoms, in Aberlady Bay, 5 

 fathoms, and in many other localities.
