Messrs Leslie & Herdman on Invertebrata of Firth of Forth. 313 



Ommatostrejphes sagittatus (Lamk.). 



Firth of Forth {Ed. Mus). 



Loligo vulgaris (Lamk.). 



Firth of Forth {Dr Grant, F. and H.) : off 

 Seafield, 1854 (M'B.) ; Craigroyston (M.). 

 We have found this species frequently 

 cast ashore at Portobello, Kinghorn, and 

 Granton. 



L. media (Linn.). 



Aberlady Bay, 1857 (M'B.). 



Bossia macrosoma (Delle Chiaje). 



We obtained an adult individual of this 

 species alive, at low water, on the Silver 

 Sands, Aberdour, a few years ago. 



Sejnola rondeleti (Leach). 



Probably this is the species referred to 

 under the name of Loligo sepiola by Dr 

 Fleming, in his " British Animals," as hav- 

 ing been found in the Firth of Forth by 

 Dr Grant and also by himself. 



II. OCTOPODA — 



OCTOPID^. 



Octopus vulgaris (Lamk.). 



Firth of Forth {Grant) ; not unfrequent in 

 the Firth {Neill). 



Probably it is this species which is re- 

 corded from the Forth by Dr Coldstream 

 as Octojms octopodia. 



Elcdonc cirrosa (Lamk.). 



Kirkcaldy Bay, 1855 {^PB.). 



APPENDLX. 



Since the preceding pages have been printed we have re- 

 ceived additional records of species from Mr Balfour, of 

 Cambridge, and Professor Cunningham, of Belfast; these, along 

 with others obtained by ourselves during a few days dredging 

 in the neighbourhood of Inchcolm, and some previously 

 omitted, are now inserted.
