318 Part III. — Eighth Annual Report 



Habitat. — Off St Monance, where it was taken with the dredge, but 

 somewhat sparingly. The body is robust, and the dorsal aspect is boldly 

 arched, the abdomen is slender, the antennae moderately short and stout. 



Cyclopia;. 

 Thorellia brunnea, Boeck.

iagt. Copep., p. 26 (1864). 

 Thorellia brunnea, Brady, op. cit, vol. i. p. 95, pi. xvi. figs. 1-10. 

 Habitat. — Near Oxcar, 30 to 40 fathoms, and Largo Bay, rather rare. I 

 have found this species frequently at Tarbert, Loch Fyne, and at Rothe- 

 say amongst weeds in shallow water. 



Harpacticid^e. 



Ectinosoma melaniceps, Boeck.

(1864). 

 Ectinosoma melaniceps, Brady, op. cit, vol. ii. p. 11, pi. xi. figs. 

 17-20. 

 Habitat. — Largo Bay and other parts of the Forth, moderately frequent. 

 This is a smaller species than E. spinipes, which it somewhat resembles, 

 but from which it may be distinguished by a small, more or less distinct, 

 black patch near the base of the rostrum. 



Ectinosoma erythrops, Brady. 



Ectinosoma erythrops, Brady, op. cit., vol. ii. p. 12, pi. xxxvi. figs. 

 11-17. 

 Habitat. — -Off St Monance, 10 to 15 fathoms, bottom clean sand or 

 gravel ; and Largo Bay, rather rare. This species is readily distinguished 

 by its having two brilliant red eye-spots, one on each side close to the 

 anterior margin of the cephalic segment. The eye-spots appear to lose 

 their colour when the specimens are kept a while in spirit. 



Ameira longipes, Boeck. 



Ameira longipes, Boeck, Oversigt Norges Copepoder, p, 49 (1864). 



Ameira longipes, Brady, op. cit, vol. ii. p. 37, pi. liii. figs. 1-10. 

 Habitat. — Largo Bay and off St Monance, as well as other parts of the 

 Forth. This is not a very satisfactory species, and great care is required 

 in discriminating between it and Stenhelia ima t 



Laophonte serrata (Claus).

figs. 13-20 (1863).

 Habitat. — Off St Monance, rather scarce.
