62 ME. THOMAS SCOTT ON THE 



It will be observed from this table and from the preceding 

 remarks that the collection of Crustacea brought home by 

 Mr. Bruce, though it does not contain any of the larger Brachyura, 

 is particularly rich in the smaller forms ; indeed, though twelve 

 suborders are represented in the collection, by far the largest 

 number of species belong to only three of these. The total 

 number of species is 173, but 132 of them belong to the 

 Ampbipoda, Podocopa, and Glnathostomata. It may be also 

 remarked that this collection of Crustacea exceeds in importance 

 as well as in number of species any other previously brought 

 from Franz- Josef Land, except perhaps in the number of the 

 larger forms. 



Of the species above enumerated, three, represented each by a 

 single specimen, are reserved for further investigation — one being 

 a very small Macruran of the family Hypolytidse, and the other 

 two minute Cumacea, probably new. 



In the following detailed list the locality where each species 

 was obtained in Eranz-Josef Land is given, except in the 

 case of a few that are comparatively common. Notes on the 

 distribution of species are occasionally added, and especially of 

 those that have been observed in the British seas. Descriptions 

 of several apparently new species will also be found in the sequel. - 

 A list of works that have been specially consulted in the pre- 

 paration of this report is added. 



The majority of the specimens were collected in the vicinity 

 of Cape Elora and Cape Gertrude, IN orthbrook Island; Elm- 

 wood, which is also frequently mentioned, is situated near to 

 Cape Flora. Northbrook Island is somewhat V-shaped: one 

 branch extends in a north-by-west direction, about 15 miles from 

 Barents Cape ; the other branch, which is nearly 40 miles in 

 length, extends almost due west; and Cape Gertrude, Elm wood, 

 and Cape Flora are all situated at the western extremity of this 

 lower branch. Northbrook Island is one of the most southerly 

 of the Franz-Josef Land group, and while the lower branch 

 which terminates in Cape Flora is somewhat under the 80th 

 degree of North latitude, the other reaches to some distance 

 beyond that.
