Notes on some Copepoda from the Faroe Channel. 
By Tuomas Scort, LL.D., F.L.S.. 
(Prates 1-3.) 
It sometimes happens, during marine investigations, that pieces 
of water-logged and partly-decayed wood are brought up in the 
dredge or trawl-net. These pieces of wood, if carefully examined, 
will not infrequently be found to harbour rare, and sometimes 
undescribed, species of Entomostraca. In such pieces of wood 
dredged in the Clyde, the Firth of Forth, and elsewhere I 
have obtained the somewhat rare ostracod Cytheropteron humile, 
Brady & Norman, in considerable numbers; and my son, 
Mr. Andrew Scott, has found the same ostracod in similar 
pieces of wood from Barrow. Channel, Lancashire *. This 
ostracod was described in 18897, and at that time the Clyde 
near Greenock, and Vigo Bay, Spain, were the only two places 
where it was known to have been obtained. Moreover, it is in 
such pieces of wood, and often associated with the ostracod 
named, that I usually find the curious copepod Laophonte sim- 
ulans, T. Scott t. The Copepoda recorded in the following © 
notes were, like the two species just referred to, obtained from
