278 Part III. — Nineteenth Annual Report 



Sub-Order MACRURA. 

 Callianassid^e. 



Oallianassa subterranea (Mont.). 



A specimen of this Crustacean, obtained in the stomach of a common 

 Gurnard, Trigla gurnardus, captured in the Moray Firth, was forwarded 

 to the Laboratory at Bay of Nigg by Mr. F. G. Pearcey, Naturalist on 

 board the " Garland." The specimen, which, though recognisable, was 

 considerably decomposed, was obtained on June the 14th at Station IX. 

 (about eleven or twelve miles north-east of Lossiemouth). Gallianassa 

 subterranea has been known for many years as one of the invertebrates of the 

 Moray Firth district. The species was obtained by Thomas Edward of 

 Banff, and it has also been obtained on several occasions by Mr. Sim of 

 Aberdeen, but always in the stomachs of fishes captured in moderately 

 deep water, and where the bottom appears to consist of soft mud. 



Eupogebia deltura, Leach. 



A specimen of Eupogebia deltura was found in the stomach of a 

 Haddock 13|- inches long, captured in the Moray Firth at Station VII. 

 (about five miles east of Tarbat Ness), in February, 1900, and forwarded 

 to the Laboratory at Bay of Nigg by Mr. F. G. Pearcey. Eupogebia 

 deltura, which i? also one of the Crustaceans obtained in the Moray Firth 

 by the late Thomas Edward of Banff, appears to have a habitat similar to 

 that of Gallianassa. 



Crangonid^:. 



Pontophilus spinosus, Leach. 



A few fine specimens of this species were obtained by the " Garland " 

 in 40 to 50 fathoms, off Aberdeen, in November last year. 



Gheraphilus neglectus, G. 0. Sars. 



A few specimens of this Crangonid were collected by Mr. H. C- 

 Williamson in the Bay of Nigg in August last year. A fine specimeu 

 was also obtained in a gathering collected by the " Garland " in 7 to 8 

 fathoms at Station I., Moray Firth (between Burghead and the mouth of 

 the River Findhorn), on December 12th. This species resembles Egion 

 fasciatus (Risso), but in the first the front of the rostrum is broadly 

 rounded, while in the other the rostrum is truncate and slightly concave 

 at the apex. 



HlPPOLVTID^E. 



Caridion gordoni (Spence Bate). 



This species was moderately frequent in a gathering collected by the 

 " Garland " in 60 fathoms, off Aberdeen, on the 25th October last ; the 

 majority of the specimens I observed were, however, more or less 

 immature. Caridion differs from the closely-allied Hippolyte and 

 Spirontocaris by the possession of a three-jointed mandible-palp. 



Spirontocaris securifrons, Norman. 



This Crustacean was moderately common in some gatherings collected 

 by the " Garland," off Aberdeen, in October and November last year.
