the gatherings. Though generally distributed throughout British 

 seas it is rarely found in quantity. 



8. Centropages hamatus, Lillj. 



Commonly distributed throughout the district. 



9. Centropages typieus, Kr. 



A few specimens were found in two of the gatherings taken in 

 St. Aubin's Bay in July and August. It is easily distinguished 

 from C. hamatus by the presence of three toothed spines on the 

 anterior antennee, and by the much finer character of the serrations 

 on the terminal spines of the swimming feet. 



10. Metridia armata, Boeck. ( 



An open sea species, distinguishable by the leaf dike termina- 

 tions to the swimming feet. It was found very sparingly in three 

 gatherings from St. Aubin's Bay. 



Family : - Candactd^. 



1 1 . Canclace pectinate/,, Brady. 



One specimen only of this very striking and easily recognizable 

 species was found in a gathering marked Jersey, April 4th, 1 894, no 

 precise locality being given. It was first found by Drs. Brady and 

 Eobertson at a depth of 40 fathoms, off the Scilly Islands, and I 

 have on several occasions taken it very sparingly on the West coast 

 of Scotland, and have more recently received it from Valentia, 

 Ireland. Some years ago I took it very plentifully about the 

 Canary Islands, and it seems probable that it comes to our westerly 

 and southern shores through the influence of the warm North 

 Atlantic drift. The deep brown colour of the terminations of the 

 swimming feet and of its spines and antennae render it very 

 conspicuous. 



Family : — Pontellid2e. 



12. Lahidocera ivollastoni, Lubbock. 



This species, which was originally reported by Lubbock, from 

 Weymouth, in 1857, occurs sparingly in six gatherings taken in St. 

 Aubin's Bay, Jersey. Though apparently nowhere common, I have 

 on several occasions taken it in Liverpool Bay, and it has been 

 reported from Heligoland by Claus, and by Canu from Wimereux. 



13. Anomalocera pater soni, Temp. 



This species, one of the largest and the most beautifully coloured 

 of British Copepoda, occurs sparingly on three occasions, taken off 

 Greve d'Azette and in St. Aubin's Bay. It sometimes occurs in 

 enormous shoals round our coasts, but appears to be nowhere 

 generally common.
