102 ME. THOMAS SCOTT ON THE 



21st, 1897. Laophonte horrida is recorded from the Arctic seas by 

 Buchbolz, in his Report on the Grermaa Nortli-Polar Expedition 

 of 1869-70, but he, under some misapprehension, referred this 

 Copepod to Miiller's Cyclops minuticornis. The species appears 

 to be generally distributed round the British coasts. 



Laophonte cueticauda, BoecTc. 



1864. Lao2)honte curticauda, Boeck (5), p. 55. 



This species was somewhat rare in the Franz-Josef Land 

 collection ; a few specimens were obtained in some material 

 dredged off Cape Gertrude. L. curticauda is also a British 

 species. 



LAOrHONTE DEPEESSA, T. Scott. 



1894. Laophonte depressa, T.Scott (79), p. 245, pi. 6. figs. 24-31, pi. 7. 

 figs. 1-3. 



This species was described and figured in Part iii. of the 

 Twelfth Annual Eeport of the Fishery Board for Scotland 

 (1894), from specimens found in the Firth of Forth. The Franz- 

 Josef Land gathering in which it occurred was dredged off East 

 Grlacier, Cape Flora, July 21st, 1897. 



Laophonte longtcafdata, Boech. 



1864. Laophonte longicaudata, Boeck (5), p. 65. 



This also was dredged off East Glacier, Cape Flora, and 

 appeared to be somewhat rare. It has been long known as a 

 British species. The outer branches of the first pair of 

 swimming-feet in all the Franz-Josef Land specimens appear 

 to be two-jointed, the first joint being short and the other about 

 twice as long as the first. 



Laophonte inteemedia, T. Scott. 



1895. Laophonte intermedia, T. Scott (80), p. 168, pi. 3. figs. 10-20. 

 This distinct species was obtained in West Bay on July 27th, 



1897, it occurred in a tow-net gathering. L. intermedia was 

 described and figured in Part iii. of the Thirteenth Annual 

 Beport of the Fishery Board for Scotland (1895), from specimens 

 found in the Firth of Forth. 



Laophonte similis, Claus. 



1866. Laophonte similis, Claus (24), p. 23, pi. 5. figs. 13, 14. 



One or two specimens of a Copepod which I have ascribed to 

 Laophonte similis occurred in some dredged material from West 

 Bay, Cape Flora, collected in July 1897.
