APPENDIX F.— No. XVII. 



LIST of the MARINE FAUNA collected at the Tarbert Laboratory 

 during 1885. Part 1. By George Brook and Thomas Scott. 



The present list does not pretend to include a complete list of the 

 forms known to inhabit Lochfyne and the adjacent waters, but simply 

 includes those species which have been collected and identified in 

 connection with the enquiries at present in progress in Lochfyne under 

 the direction of the Fishery Board. 



The large group of Amphipods have not been included in the present 

 list of Crustacea, as many species have not yet been identified. Other 

 groups, such as the Ccelenterates, Sponges, Annelids. Tunicates, &c, 

 have not received special attention, and will be worked up later. 



Our thanks are due to the Rev. A. M. Norman for the very valuable 

 assistance he has rendered us in the identification of the Crustacea, who 

 contributes a paper on some of the more interesting forms. 



In order to add to the value of the present list, an asterisk has been 

 placed in front of each species which is known to form a part of the food 

 of fishes.
