260 Part III. — Nineteenth Annual Report 



Icevigata must be set aside. The species known as Ampelisca Icevigata, 

 Lilljeborg, was dredged during the past year in Loch Etive, near Abbot's 

 Island, in 9 fathoms, on March 30th. 



Byblis gaimardi (Krbyer). 



A single specimen of this rare species was obtained in a bottom tow-net 

 gathering collected about fifty miles S.S.E. of Fair Island at a depth of 

 about 80 fathoms on .October 12th, 1901. There appear to be extremely 

 few British records of Byblis gaimardi. Norman gives the following 

 three : — Off Seaham, Co. Durham ; off St. Abbs Head, 40 fathoms ; 

 and near May Island, Firth of Forth (1890).* The latter seems to be 

 the most recent British record of the species previous to the present one. 



Amphilochid^:. 



Amphilochoides odontonyx, Boeck. 



This species was obtained in a tow-net gathering collected about sixty- 

 five miles east by south off Sumburgh Head, Shetland, September 4th, 

 and about fifty miles south-south-east of Fair Island, October 16th, 1900. 

 This is the form described by Gr. O. Sars under the name of Amphilochoides 

 pusittus. 



Amphilochoides intermedins, T. Scott. 



One or two specimens of Amphilochoides intermedins occurred in some 

 material dredged off Aberdeen in forty-five fathoms, November 11th, 1900. 

 This species was described in 1896 in the Fourteenth Annual Report of 

 the Fishery Board for Scotland, Part III., p. 159, PI. IV., figs. 1-3. 



Stegoplax brevirostris (T. and A. Scott). 



Several specimens of this small species were obtained in the same 

 gathering in which Amphilochoides intermedins occurred, collected in 45 

 fathoms off Aberdeen. This species was ascribed by T. and A. Scott to the 

 genus Gyproidiafi but the Rev. A. M. Norman refers it to Stegoplax 

 because the upper antennae have no secondary appendage.^: 



Metopid;e, Stebbing (1899). 



Metopa rubrovittata, G. O. Sars. 



This small, brightly red-coloured species occurred in a gathering col- 

 lected sixty-five miles east by south of Sumburgh Head, Shetland, and in 

 another collected off Fair Island ; the first was collected in September 

 and the other in October, 1900. 



Metopa borealis, G. O. Sars. 



This species was obtained in a gathering collected in Aberdeen Bay on 

 June 28th, 1900. 



Metopa norvegica (Lilljeborg). 



This is the Metopa pollexiana of Bate and Westwood ; several specimens 

 of this fine species were obtained in a few of the gatherings collected off
