the information contained in this catalogue is partly at least a compila- 
tion from the recorded results of past investigations, and has only to a 
limited extent been obtained as the result of independent study. The 
following are the principal sources from whence the information contained 
in the catalogue has been derived :— 
(1) An extensive and valuable series of MS. records from the steam yacht 
‘ Medusa,’ which Dr John Murray has kindly placed at my disposal.* 
(2) The Decapod and Schizopod Crustacea of the Clyde, by Dr (now 
Professor) J. R. Henderson, 
(3) A Contribution towards a Catalogue of the Amphipoda and Isopoda 
of the Clyde (in two parts), by the late Dr Robertson of Mill- 
90rt, 
(4) pe List of the Marine Fauna collected at the Tarbert (Loch Fyne) 
Laboratory during 1885,’ by George Brook and Thomas Scott 
(published as an Appendix in the Fourth Annual Report of the 
Fishery Board for Scotland). 
(5) The Mollusca of the Firth of Clyde, by Alfred Brown. 
(6) ‘Notes on the Copepods of Loch Fyne, by W. L. Calderwood 
(published as an Appendix in the Mourth Annnal Report of the 
Fishery Board for Scotland). 
(7) The scientific researches in Loch Fyne during the past year of the 
Fishery steamer ‘Garland.’ These researches have yielded a con- 
siderable number of new records. 
The following abbreviations are used in the catalogue :— 
(M.) Refers to the MS. Records of the steam yacht ‘Medusa,’ as 
the source of information. 
(1.) Dr Henderson’s Higher Crustacea of the Clyde. 
(R.) Dr Robertson’s Amphipoda and Isopoda of the Clyde. 
(B. & 8.) The List of Tarbert Fauna for 1885. 
(G.) Records obtained by means of the Investigations of the ‘ Garland.’ 
Other sources of information are, wherever necessary, duly acknow- 
ledged. 
I have to acknowledge my indebtedness to Captain Campbell of the 
‘Garland’ for his unwearied interest in the work, and for his efforts to 
render it successful. I have also, as in former years, been greatly 
indebted to the Rev. T. R. R. Stebbing, F.R.S., for the kindly manner 
in which he has from time to time endeavoured to assist me with the 
identification of Crustacean species. Professor G. S. Brady, F.R.S., 
has also kindly assisted me on various occasions. My son, Mr Andrew 
Scott, has prepared the series of interesting drawings which illustrate this 
paper,
