258 Part III. — Nineteenth Annual Report 



Sub-Class MALACOSTRACA. 

 Sub-Order AMPHIPODA. 

 Lysianassid^:. 



Normanion quadrimanus (Bate and Westwood). 



In the Seventeenth Annual Report, Part III., I recorded this rare species 

 from near Davaar Island, Firth of Clyde. I have now to add another 

 Clyde station for the species — viz., Tarbert Bank, Lower Loch Fyne, in 17 

 to 20 fathoms; it occurred in some material dredged on the Bank on 

 December 22nd, 1899, but not examined till some time afterwards. 

 Besides the two stations mentioned, Normanion has also been obtained 

 off Cumbrae in 20 to 25 fathoms by the Rev. A. M. Norman.* 



Acidostoma obesum (Bate). 



I have to record this species from the Moray Firth, in a gathering 

 collected in 1898 but only examined last year. Also in a gathering of 

 Crustacea collected off Fair Island in October; and in another from 45 

 fathoms off Aberdeen, collected in November, 1900. 



Perrierella audouiniana (Bate). 



Dredged in 72 fathoms, Sound of Mull, March 31st, 1900; and in 

 Loch Etive, off Abbot's Island, in 9 fathoms, on the 30th of the same 

 month (Fishery steamer " Garland "). 



Orchomene humilis (A. Costa). 



Orchomene humilis was obtained in Loch Etive in the same gathering 

 with Perrierella audouiniana. This is the Anonyx edwardsii of Bate and 

 Westwood's " Sessile-eyed Crustacea " and the Orchomene batei of G. O. 

 Sars' " Crustacea of Norway."! 



Tryphosella horingii (Boeck). 



This species occurred in a tow-net gathering collected about fifty miles 

 south-eastward of the Fair Island, in October, 1900, and in moderately 

 deep water. 



Anonyx nugax (Phipps). 



Quite recently several specimens of Anonyx nugax (Phipps) were 

 forwarded to the Laboratory at Bay of Nigg, from Mr. F. G. Pearcey, 

 the Naturalist on board the Fishery steamer " Garland." They were 

 collected in the Cromarty Firth in 7 J fathoms on January 10th, 1901. 

 This is only the second time I have seen Anonyx nugax in Scottish waters, 

 and the first time in the Moray Firth district. The previous occurrence 

 of the species was in 1889, when it was obtained near May Island in the 

 Firth of Forth in the month of February, but was not recorded till 1893.| 

 It may be of interest to note that on the present occasion the specimens 

 have been obtained a month or so earlier than they were observed in 

 1889.
