 off the Fair Island in October. The following are a few of the 

 Crustacean species observed in the " St. Andrew " gatherings : — - 



Eucalanus elongatus (Dana). 

 Eucalanus crassus, G-iesbreeht. 

 Rhincalanus (?) gigas, Brady. 

 *Oyclopina longif areata, sp. n. 

 *Eacanuella spinifera, gen. et sp. n. 

 Macrocypris minna (Baird). 

 Euonyx chelatus, Norman. 

 Byblis gaimardi (Kroyer). 

 Aceros phyllonyx (M. Sars). 

 Lcematophilus tuberculatum, Bruzel. 

 Dulichia monacantha, Metz. 



Arcturella delatata, G. 0. Sars. 

 Paramunna bilobata, G. 0< Sars. 

 Macrostylis spinifera, G. 0. Sars. 

 Echinopleura aculeata, G. 0. Sars. 

 Diastylis cornuta (Boeck). 

 Diastylopsis resima (Kroyer). 

 Leptostylis villosa, G. 0. Sars. 

 Pseudocuma similis, G. 0. Sars. 

 Gampylaspis rubicunda (Lillj.). 

 Campylaspis costata, G. 0. Sars. 

 Erythrops serrata, G. O. Sars.. 



Several organisms other than Crustacea were also observed in the 

 gatherings collected by the " St. Andrew," the following of which may be 

 mentioned :• — 



Olio pyramidata, Browne, obtained fifty miles S.E. of Fair Island 

 (living when captured), October 19th, 1900. 



Natica groenlandica, Beck, dead, but fresh shell. 



Siphonodentalium lofotense, Sars, a few specimens ; and the 

 following Foraminifera : — Saccamina sphwra, Psammosphcera 

 fusca, Astrorhiza arenaria, Placopsilina bulla. 



Some interesting collections were also sent from the " Garland," and 

 especially those from the deep water off Aberdeen. Some moderately rare 

 species belonging to the Amphipoda, Isopoda, Sympoda, and Macrura 

 were obtained off Aberdeen, comprising such forms as the beautiful 

 Epimeria cornigera, the curious Lepidepecrlum longicorne, and Euonyx 

 chelatus, and also the following rare forms : — Amphilochoides intermedius, 

 T. Scott, Metopina robusta (G. 0. Sars), Guma pulchella, G. 0. Sars, 

 Petalosarsia declivis, G. 0. Sars, Pleurogonium inerme, G. 0. Sars, and a 

 number of other minute species. 



Copepoda were not very plentiful, neither in these gatherings nor in 

 those collected by the " St. Andrew," but nevertheless interesting species 

 will be found recorded in the sequel. A curious and somewhat abnormal 

 form which was dredged by the " Garland" at Tarbert Bank, Loch Fyne, 

 I have been unable to identify with any known species or genus, and have 

 therefore recorded it under the name of Gancerina confusa ; it resembles 

 in some measure the Gancerilla tubulosa discovered by Sir John Graham 

 Dalyell as the parasite of a Starfish, but it differs from that Copepod in 

 several important points. 



In concluding these introductory remarks, I desire to acknowledge my 

 indebtedness to Mr. F. G. Pearcey of the "Garland" and to Mr. 

 Dannevig for the valuable gatherings of Crustacea which they have col- 

 lected, and which have yielded so many interesting species. I have also 

 to thank Mr. H. C. Williamson for a few rare forms, and especially for 

 Ischyrocerus anguipes, Kroyer, which he discovered in the Bay of Nigg, 

 and of which there is no previous authentic British record. 



My son, Mr. Andrew Scott, assisted by Mrs. Scott, has prepared the 

 drawings necessary to illustrate several of the species described in the 

 sequel. 



* These were obtained in the stomach of a small Haddock captured about sixty-five 

 miles south-east by east of Sumburgh Head, Shetland, on September 4th, 1900.
