248 Part III. — Nineteenth Annual Report 



Brayda similis, T. and A. Scott. 



Bradya similis has been obtained during the past year in material 

 dredged by the "Garland," both in the Moray Firth and in 45 fathoms 

 off Aberdeen ; this species is considerably smaller than Bradya hirsuta, 

 but the caudal furca are, as in that species, distinctly divergent. 



Tachidius littoralis, Poppe (1881). [=T. crassicomis, T. Scott (1892).]* 



This small species, distinguished at first sight from T. brevicornis by its 

 short, stout antennules, which terminate so abruptly that they appear as if 

 the ends had been broken off, was found in the store-pond of the Sea-Fish 

 Hatchery at Bay of Nigg. It is a littoral species, and its presence 

 in the store-pond seems to indicate that it may also occur in the Bay. It 

 was observed in the pond on November 29th, 1900. 



Zosima typica, Boeck. 



This species was obtained in some material dredged in Loch Eil, at the 

 head of Loch Linnhe, on April 3rd, 1900. It has also been obtained 

 during the past year in a gathering of Crustacea from the Moray Firth 

 forwarded from the " Garland." 



Stenhelia hispid a, G. S. Brady. 



This fine species occurred in the same gathering from Loch Eil in 

 which the Zosima was obtained ; although the species appears to have a 

 fairly extensive distribution, and is occasionally obtained in moderate 

 numbers, it seems nevertheless to be somewhat local. 



Stenhelia intermedia, T. Scott. 



This species, which was described in Part III. of the Fifteenth Annual 

 Report from specimens obtained in Kilbrennan Sound, Firth of Clyde, 

 has been obtained also in the Moray Firth, having occurred very sparingly 

 in some dredged material sent from the " Garland." 



Ameira longipes, Boeck. 



This does not appear to be a very common form, and I have only occa- 

 sionally met with it. Its distribution, however, seems to be moderately 

 extensive ; it was obtained in a gathering of dredged material collected at 

 72 fathoms in the Sound of Mull, March 31st, 1900, and forwarded from 

 the " Garland " to the Laboratory at Bay of ISTigg. 



Laophonte intermedia, T. Scott. 



A number of Laophontes have been observed during the past year. 

 L. intermedia is a distinct and moderately rare species, and I have now 

 to record its occurrence in the Bay of Nigg, near Aberdeen, where it was 

 obtained on October 1st, 1900. 



Laophotde denticornis, T. Scott. 



This species, which is also moderately rare, was dredged from 72 

 fathoms in the Sound of Mull, March 31st, 1900. The specimens from 

 which the species was described were dredged off St. Monans, Firth of 

 Forth, in 1893.
