tooth-like projections. A strong spine with ciliated edges extends down- 

 wards from the interior distal angle of the second basal joint of the first 

 pair. The second, third, and fourth pairs are very similar to the same 

 appendages in Canuella, in each pair the length of the inner and outer 

 branches is subequal and both are slender and elongated (fig. 9). The fifth 

 pair are somewhat like those of Longipedia, in each foot the basal joint is 

 almost rudimentary, and consists of a narrow plate which extends laterally 

 outwards into a small cylindrical lobe, bearing at its apex an elongated 

 and slender plumose seta ; the secondary branch is elongate-narrow and 

 sub-cylindrical, about four times longer than broad, and furnished with 

 one long and plumose terminal seta and a sub-terminal and shorter one ; 

 a small seta also springs from near the middle of the outer margin. 

 Interiorly the basal joint is not produced, nor does it appear to carry 

 either spines or setae (fig. 10). 



Habitat.— Found in the stomach of a small Haddock captured about 

 sixty-five miles south-eastward of Sumburgh Head, Shetland, September 

 4th, 1900. Obtained also in some bottom material collected with a tow-net 

 about fifty miles south-eastward of the Fair Island, between Orkney and 

 Shetland, October 19th, 1900. The tow-net had touched the bottom, and 

 when hauled up was found to contain a quantity of sand, amongst which 

 weee several rare Crustaceans. The vessel on which these collections were 

 made was the steam trawler " St. Andrew," of Aberdeen. 



Remarks. — The species described above, while agreeing in some respects 

 both with Longipedia, Claus, and Canuella, T. and A. Scott, presents too 

 many points of difference to permit of its being ascribed to either of these 

 two genera. I have already drawn attention to the fact that the secondary 

 branches of the antennae in Eucanuella are only four-jointed, whereas in 

 Canuella and Longipedia the secondary branches are composed of six 

 joints ; and it has also been shown that the second maxillipedes in 

 Eucanuella are more fully developed than they are in either of these two 

 genera. It has also to be noted that whereas in Eucanuella in the 

 branches of the second pair of thoracic feet the inner and outer branches 

 are about equal in length, the inner branches of the same pair in 

 Longipedia are remarkably elongated ; and, further, in Eucanuella 

 the fifth pair of feet have the secondary joint moderately developed 

 and somewhat similar in form and armature to the fifth pair in Longipedia, 

 but in Canuella the fifth pair are quite rudimentary. There are other 

 points of difference, but these are quite sufficient to distinguish 

 Eucanuella from either Canuella or Longipedia, to which it is no doubt 

 closely allied. 



Bradya typica, Boeck. 



This species was obtained in material dredged in the Moray Firth, and 

 examined during last year. 



Bradya hirsuta, T. and A. Scott. 



One or two specimens of this distinct species were obtained in the 

 same gathering as the last ; it is a moderately large species with strongly 

 divergent caudal furca. 



Bradya elegans, T. and A. Scott. 



This species has not only been observed in the Moray Firth along with 

 the others just referred to, but it has also been obtained in material 

 dredged by the " Garland" in Loch Eil, at the head of Loch Linnhe, in 

 10 to 15 fathoms, on the 3rd of April last year.
