Fam. Lampropid^:. 



Lamprops fasciata, G. 0. Sars. 



This species was frequent in some tow-net gatherings collected by the

 between 8.45 p.m. on the 16th and 5 a.m. on the 17th of May, 1900. 



Hemilamprops rosea (Norman). 



This was moderately frequent in tow-net gatherings collected off Fair 

 Island in October, and it was also observed occasionally in the stomachs 

 of small Haddocks captured about 65 miles south-east by east of Sumburgh 

 Head in September. It was the only species belonging to the Lam- 

 propidse observed in the gatherings. 



Fam. LeuconidjE. 



Leucon nasicus (Kroyer). 



L. nasicus was also one of the more common forms in the gatherings 

 collected off Fair Island by the steam trawler " St. Andrew " in October 

 last. 



Eudorellopsis deformis (Kroyer). 



This curious small species was occasionally observed in company with 

 Eudorella marginata (Kroyer) in the gatherings collected off Fair 

 Island, but neither the one nor the other was very frequent. 



Fam. Diastyliile. 



Diastylis lucifera (Kroyer) and Diet stylus rostrata (Good sir) have

Diastylis cornutus (Boeck). 



Several specimens of this well-marked species occurred in tow-net 

 gatherings collected in deep water about fifty miles south-eastward of 

 Fair Island on the 12th and 19th October. Diastylis cornutus was 

 obtained for the first time as a British species by the Rev. A. M. 

 Norman, who dredged it in Shetland in 1863. Most of the specimens 

 collected off Fair Island were more or less damaged. 



Diastylopsis resima (Kroyer). 



This species also occurred in the gatherings collected off Fair Island 

 along with Diastylis cornutus ; male and female specimens of Diastylopsis 

 resima were observed, but though the species was moderately frequent, 

 few of the specimens were undamaged, and nearly all were more or less
