A single specimen—a female—of this interesting species was obtained in 
“some dredged material from Loch Gair, Upper Loch Fyne. A careful 
comparison of the various appendages of this Loch Gair specimen with 
Dr Giesbrecht’s description and figures, leaves no doubt as to its identity 
with the specimens obtained at Naples. Dr Giesbrecht discovered his 
specimens in the tanks of the Zoological Station at Naples. The species 
appears to be quite distinct from Stephos minor (T. Scott) from the Furth 
of Forth. The Loch Gair specimen measures °8 mm. in length (about 
giyth of an inch). | 
Hucheta norvegica, Boeck.—Common in the deep water of Upper 
Loch Fyne, and also obtained occasionally at the surface (G.). Upper 
Loch Fyne in 60 to 70 fathoms; taken at all seasons of the year in great 
abundance in Upper Loch Fyne, at from 5 to 15 fathoms above the mud 
in the deepest water. The females seem to carry a succession of ova, 
which are of a bluish colour, all through the year (M.). 
Scolfithrix hibernica, A. Scott.*—Taken in a bottom tow-net gathering 
between Carndow and Dunderave Castle, and between Loch Gair and 
Minard Castle (G.). This species was first obtained in deep’ water off 
the coast of county Down, Ireland, by my son, Mr Andrew Scott. 
Centropages typicus, Kroyer.—East Loch Tarbert and neighbouring 
parts of Loch Fyne (Calderwood). 
Centropages hamatus (Lilljeborg),—East Loch Tarbert and Loch Fyne 
(Calderwood), Off Inveraray, between Carndow and Dunderave Castle, 
and in Loch Gair (G.). This species is moderately common all over the 
district ; Loch Fyne (M.). 
Temora longicornis (Miiller).—This also isa moderately common and 
widely distributed species. It has been obtained off Garndow, off Inver- 
aray, off Minard, and in Loch Gair (G.). In East Loch Tarbert and Loch 
Fyne (Calderwood). 
Metridia hibernica (Brady and Robertson).—East Loch Tarbert and 
Loch Fyne (Calderwood). Off Largabruach, Upper Loch Fyne (G.). Dr 
W. Giesbrecht gives the following synonymy for this species.t
