Eog Fiord, but was not observed in any of the others. 

 T. discipes is not uncommon as a British species, especially in 

 inshore waters and brackish pools. 



Tachidius Uttoralis, Poppe.

 Jodebu8ens," Abhandl. d. nat. Ver. zu Bremen, Bd. xi. p. 167, t. vii. 

 figs. 10-20. 



A number of specimens of Tachidius littoralis were 

 obtained in the same gatliering with the last. The two 

 species are quite distinct, the difference in the structure of 

 tJie antennules and fifth thoracic feet in the female being very 

 marked. T. littoralis is more a brackish-water species tliau 

 the other, though they are frequently found living together. 



Genus Amymone, Glaus, 1863. 



Amymone sphcerica, Glaus. 



18C3. Amymone sphcerica, Claus, Die frei lebenden Copepoden, p. 14, 

 t. XX. figs. 1-9. 



A few specimens of Amymone sphcerica occurred in a 

 gathering from Lakse Fiord, E. Finmark, and in another 

 from Svolvajr, Lofoten Islands. These Gopepods are, from 

 their small size and peculiar form, easily missed, unless they 

 are carefully looked for. 



Genus Stenhelia, Boeck, 1864.

 pepoda of Liverpool Bay," Trans. Biol. Soc. Liverpool, p. 20, pi. xxxi, 

 (separate reprint). 



This species occurred very sparingly in gatherings from 

 Bog and Klosterelv Fiords. It has the antennules short 

 and moderately stout, while the caudal furcae are somewhat 

 elongated.

Stenhelia hyperhorea, sp. n. (PI. II. figs. 9-13.) 



Description of the female. — The specimen represented by 

 the drawing (fig. 9) measures about 1*1 millim. ; the body is 

 moderately slender and the rostrum is prominent. The 

 antennules (fig. 10) are eight-jointed; the first four joints are 

 moderately stout, but the others are narrow ; the end joint, 

 which is longer than any of the three preceding ones, is 

 about equal in length to the fourth. The proportional
