the Firth of Forth off St. Monans, at a place locally known 
as “the Fluke Hole” and famous for the fine quality of its 
flat-fishes, especially plaice and lemon soles. In structure, 
Neobradya pectintfer is somewhat intermediate between Longz- 
pedia and Bbradya (or Ectinosoma); it is, however, quite 
distinct from other British Harpactids, and is apparently 
local in its distribution. Till quite recently “the Fluke Hole” 
was the only habitat for Meobvadya known to us. We are 
now, however, able to record its occurrence in the Clyde; a 
few specimens of it, along with specimens of other rare forms, 
having been obtained in a small gathering of Copepods 
from Ballantrae Bank. 
PSEUDOCLETODES VARARENSES, 7. and A. Scott. 
This genus and species were instituted to include a some- 
what large Copepod from the Moray Firth, and descriptions 
were published in the “Annals and Magazine of Natural 
History” for October 1893. Only a very few specimens of this 
Copepod were obtained at that time, and no others have been 
observed by us till a short time ago, when, on re-examining a 
number of doubtful forms from the Clyde set aside for further 
study, several specimens of this apparently rare species were 
obtained. They had been collected from some material 
dredged near Sanda Lighthouse at the mouth of Clyde estuary, 
where the conditions as regards depth of water and the 
nature of the bottom are apparently somewhat similar to 
that part of the Moray Firth where the species was first 
discovered. The elongate cylindrical form of the species, 
with its somewhat long and peculiar caudal stylets, distinguish 
it from other allied Copepods.
