INTRODUCTORY. 
In the following catalogue an endeavour has been made to include, as 
far as possible, the various species of marine fishes and invertebrates that 
are known to have been obtained in Loch Fyne. But though the records 
brought together here—the most of which are believed to be authentic,— 
comprise a large number of fishes, and include representatives of almost 
every group of the marine invertebrates, the catalogue can only be con- 
sidered as preliminary to further research. The investigation of the 
lower forms of life existing in Loch Fyne has already been in some 
respects very successful, and has yielded interesting results ;- still, there are 
several groups of the Invertebrata, such as the Tunicata, the Polyzoa, the 
smaller Crustacea, the Aunelida, the Coelenterata, and the Porifera, that 
have only been very partially studied, and it may reasonably be expected 
that numbers of species belonging to these various groups will yet be 
discovered in Loch Fyne. 
In this catalogue the total number of ne enrolled is 837, each 
includes several not before recorded from the Clyde, and also one Copepod 
new to Britain, and one new to science. 
An appendix at the end of the catalogue of the Loch Fyne fauna contains 
records and descriptions of several new and rare species that have been 
observed during the past year in the seaward part of the Clyde area, and 
which, therefore, could not find a place in the catalogue. 
These records ‘include three apparently undescribed species of Cop epoda 
two Amphipods, and a parasitic Isopod, new to Britain ; and a few others 
that are either new records for the Clyde, or that refer to species that 
are comparatively rare. 
As Calanus Jinmarchicus is a very important constituent of the fool of 
fishes, attention is also directed in the appendix to three different kinds 
of parasites that have been found more or less intesting the Calani in the 
Firth of Clyde.
