Anomalocera Patersonii, Templetoti.—East Loch Tarbert and Loch 
Fyne (Calderwood), This copepod is at times moderately common in 
Lower Loch Fyne. 
Parapontella brevicornis (Lubbock). East Loch Tarbert and Loch 
Fyne (Calderwood). 
Acartia Clausii, Giesbrecht.—Head of Loch Fyne, between Carndow 
and Ardno. Off Inveraray, and in the vicinity of Minard (G.). Upper 
Loch Fyne, in 30 to 70 fathoms, as Dias longiremis (M.). % East Loch 
Tarbert as Dzas longiremis (Calderwood). I have examined speci- 
mens of Acartzia from various parts of Upper and Lower Loch Fyne, and 
A. Clausti is the only species that has yet been observed in this part of 
the Clyde area. 
Paramisophria, nov. gen.—Somewhat like Misophria in general ap- 
pearance. Antennules short, and composed of about twenty-one joints. 
Antenne, with the primary branch short, three-jointed ; secondary 
branches longer than the primary, and two-jointed ; mouth organs as in 
the Calanide. Swimming feet nearly asin Psewdocyclops ; both branches 
three-jointed. Each part of the fifth pair consists of a more or less simple 
two-jointed branch. 
‘This genus, though apparently a true member of the family Mzsoph- 
riade, differs from the two genera Misophria and Pseudocyclops, most 
closely allied to it, in the structure of the antenne and of the fifth pair of 
thoracic feet. 
Paramisophria cluthe, nov. spec. (Pl. II., figs. 3-8; Pl. IIL, figs. 13- 
16). Description of the female—length, 1-4 mm. (sth of an inch). 
Body, robust; abdomen, short; only about one-fourth of the length of 
.the cephalothorax (fig. 13, Pl. III). Antennules short; twenty-one 
jointed ; joints very short (fig. 14, Pl. I1I.). The formula shows approxi- 
mately the proportionate lengths of all the joints :—

Antenne short, three-jointed, end joint small ; secondary branches con-

elongate sub-equal joints (fig. 3, Pl. III.). Anterior foot-jaws four-jointed, 
stout, the second and last joints short ; the first and second joints, with 
a few small papilliform and setiferous appendages on the inner aspect ; the 
end joint is furnished with a number of long plumose sete (fig. 4, Pl. IT.). 
Posterior foot-jaws elongate, moderately stout, (?) seven-jointed, first two 
joints large and sub-equal, the third, fifth, and sixth small, and of nearly 
equal length, fourth joint about one and a half times the length of the 
preceding joint, the (?) seventh is very minute ; the three last are strongly
