ZAUS. Low 
angular; caudal segments large, about twice as long 
as broad; length of the principal tail-setz about 
equal to that of the abdomen. Colour deep yellowish- 
brown. The integument is marked with closely-set 
subcircular foramina or pits, especially towards the 
front of the body. Length of the animal j',th of an 
inch (1°5 mm.), greatest width qyrd of an inch. 
The following are the localities from which I have 
notes of the capture of this species: Portincross 
(Ayrshire), dredged in fifteen fathoms; off Staiths, 
Red Cliff, and Robin Hood’s Bay (Yorkshire), thirty- 
five fathoms; Bridlington Bay, one specimen taken in 
the surface-net. These localities, it will be seen, are 
all except one on the Yorkshire coast; and in each case 
the number of specimens found was very small, so that 
Z. Goodsirt must be looked upon as one of the rarest, 
as it is certainly one of the finest, of British Har- 
pacticidee. 
Dr. Claus has identified this species with Goodsir’s 
Sterope ovalis, and considers Sterope armatus of that 
author to be simply the male of the same animal. [I 
am unable, however, to agree with this view. Goodsir’s 
figures, if meant to represent this species, are certainly 
very unfortunate, showing in both cases an abruptly- 
rounded abdomen, without any distinct caudal seg- 
ments. Moreover, in S. ovalis the anterior segment of 
the body is stated to be as long as the entire length of 
the remaining segment, and the posterior legs to be 
armed on the lateral edges with strong spines, of which 
the two terminal are the longest. Both these characters 
are certainly incorrect as applied to the present species.
