Erythrops serrata, G. O. Sars,—During the past year this schizopod 
has been obtained in several parts of the Clyde area, sometimes alone, 
sometimes in company with another and smaller species,—rythrops 
elegans. Neither of these are recorded in Prof. Henderson’s Decapod and 
Schizopod Crustacea of the Clyde. 
Monoculodes tuberculatus, G. O. Sars. —A single specimen of this amphi- 
pod occurred in a tow-net gathering, collected a few miles east of the 
Island of Arran. ‘There does not appear to be any previous record of it 
in the British seas. 
Epimeria tuberculata, G. O. Sars.—A single specimen was obtained 
in the vicinity of Ailsa Craig. There appears to be no previous British 
record of this species. I am indebted to the Rev. T. Rk. R. Stebbing for 
the names of both these amphipods. 
Ephimedia Eblane, Spence Bate——Two small specimens of an amphi- 
pod, which Mr Stebbing thinks may probably belong to this species, were 
obtained in the seaward part of the Clyde estuary. They resemble some- 
_ what closely the figure of the species in Bate and Westwood’s British Sesstle- 
Eyed Crustacea, but are smaller than the size stated by these authors. 
Philomedes (Cypridina) brenda (Baird).—Two specimens, both males, of 
this rare ostracod were obtained in the Clyde, in the deep water to the east 
of Arran. Dr Brady, who kindly examined one of the specimens, says : 
‘Your specimen is, I have no doubt, P. brenda.’ The only previous 
British records for this ostracod appear to be the following :—Off the 
coast of Durham, near the Dogger Bank (Rev. A. M. Norman). Off 
Noss, in Shetland, 80-90 fathoms (M‘Andrew). Ultra-British distribu- 
tion, Greenland (Holsteinbourg Harbour); various parts of Norway and 
Sweden, from E. Finmark and Trondhjem to Drobak and Kullaberg.* 
Aspidophryxus peltatus, G. OQ. Sars (Pl. III. fig. 19). Several speci- 
mens of this curious crustaceau were obtained as parasites on Hrythrops 
serrata and Hrythrops elegans (already recorded), but chiefly on the 
former. Males appeared to be scarce, and any that were noticed were 
not adhering to the females, but were each some distance apart, and con- 
nected to the female by a slender filament, as shown by the drawing 
(fig. 19). Rev. Mr Stebbing also identified this species for me. 
CoPEPODA. 
A considerable number of copepods have, in addition to those recorded 
from Loch Fyne, been discovered in various parts of the Clyde area. It 
is not my intention, however, to record all these at present; that may 
probably be done more fully later on. Meantime, I only give detailed 
descriptions of three species that appear to be new to science, 
Stenhelia intermedia, sp. n. (PI. I. figs. 10-21). 
Description of the Female.—Length about *7 mm. (,¢th of an inch). 
Body robust. Autennules eight-jointed; the first four moderately stout 
and sub-equal; the fifth, sixth, and seventh small, but of nearly equal 
length, while the end joint is about as long as the fourth joint; the first 
four joints are together fully twice the entire length of the last four
