324 REPORT— 1894. 



Amongst Worms new to the record are the turbellaria Fecampia (the 

 pear-shaped white cocoons of this form are not uncommon on stones in 

 pools at Port Erin), and Stylocoplana maculata (identified by Mr. Gamble), 

 and the annelid Gattiola spectahilis (Johnston) collected at Port Erin by 

 Mr. Beaumont. 



Professor G. S. Brady has kindly examined two gatherings of 

 OsTRACODA from dredged material, and reports the following species : — • 

 I. Off the Calf Island, 20 fathoms : 



Pontocypris trigoneUa, G. O. Sars ; P. mytiloides, Norman ; Bairdia 

 injlata, Norman ; Cythere Jonesii, Baird ; C. emaciaia, G. S. Brady ; 

 Loxoconcha tamarindiig, Jones ; Cytherura cornuta, G. S. Brady ; C. 

 striata, G. O. Sars ; C sella, G. O. Sars ; Pseudocythere caudata, G. O. 

 Sars ; Cytheropteroii latissimum, Norman ; Sclerochilus contortivs, Nor- 

 man ; Paradoxostoma ensijornie, G. S. Brady ; and Philomedes inter- 

 jnincta, Baird. 



II. Off Contrary Head, 40 fathoms, tiie following were found : — 

 Cythere tuherculata, G. O. Sars ; C. emaciata, G. S. Brady ; C. Dunel- 

 mensis, Norman ; C. antlquata, Baird ; C. Jonesii, Baird ; Krithe Bar- 

 tonensis, Jones ; Loxoconcha impressa, Baird ; L. guttata, Norman ; 

 Cytheropteron latissimum, Norman ; G. alatum, G. O. Sars ; Cytheridea 

 papulosa. Bosquet ; BythocytJiere acuta, Norman ; />. tiirgida, G. O. Sars ; 

 Machcerina tfuidssi)na, Norman. 



In regard to the Copepoda, Mr. I. C. Thompson has drawn up a 

 general report upon the additions to our knowledge of the group (see 

 p. 325) ; while Mr. Andrew Scott, ' fisheries ' assistant to Professor 

 Herdman, has supplied the following notes upon some new species of 

 Ectinosonm and other Copepoda, at which he has been specially working : — 



' Longipedia miliar (T. and A. Scott). — A few specimens of this species 

 were collected by hand-net in the I'ock-pools at Hilbre Island in March. 

 It is easily distinguished from L. coronata (Glaus) by its much smaller 

 size. 



^ Ectinosoma Normani, n. sp. (T. and A. Scott). — Several specimens of 

 this Ectuiosoma were obtained in material from Barrow Channel collected 

 by Professor Herdman in May. When fresh this species has a brilliant 

 red spot on the lower angles of the cephalothorax, and in this respect it 

 agrees with E. erythrops, Brady. 



' Ectinosoma Herdmani, n. sp. (T. and A. Scott). — This species was 

 found in considerable numbers in the stomachs of young dabs {J^leuronectes 

 limanda) sent to the fisheries laboratory from Blackpool, as many as 

 sixteen specimens being obtained from a single stomach. We have also 

 obtained specimens of this new species from the Firth of Forth. 



' Ectinosoma gracile, n. sp. (T. and A. Scott). — One or two specimens 

 of this species were obtained among dredged material collected at Port 

 Erin by Professor Herdman, Easter, 1894. 



' Ectinosoma pygmamm, n. sp. (T. and A. Scott). — This species was 

 obtained from the same material as the last, and is the smallest Ectino- 

 soma known to us : it measures only J^^h of an inch ("33 mm.). 



' Bradya minor, n. sp. (T. and A. Scott).' — A few specimens of this new 

 Bradya were obtained in rock-pools at Hilbre Island, along with Longipedia 

 minor. 



' 1 he above species of Ectiiiosiima and Bradya are fig^ured and described in a 

 revision of the British species of Copepoda belonging to the two genera Ectinosoma 

 and Bradya, bj- T. and A. Scott, which is to be published at an earlj' date.
