There were no very early students of the Crustacea in these 

 northern counties, and we are not aware of any pubhcations on 

 the subject prior to 1832. The following notes supply a record 

 of all observations and papers up to the year 1862-4, at which 

 time a stimulus was given to the study of this and other 

 branches of Marine Zoology by grants from the British 

 Association. These, with local contributions, enabled dredg- 

 ing to be carried out by means of a steam-tug in the deeper 

 waters which lie off the coast. The earlier papers referred to 

 are as follows :— 



Johnston (George), " Illustrations of British Zoology," 

 Loudon's Mag. Nat. Hist., vol. v., 1832. p. 520; vol. vi., 

 1833, p. 40; vol. vii., 1834, p. 253; vol. viii., 1835, PP- 202, 

 494, 565, and 668 ; vol. ix., 1835, P- ^°- These papers 

 contained notices of the occurrence of various species of 

 Isopoda, Amphipoda, and parasitic Crustacea, accom- 

 panied by illustrations.
