September ; Zemora, though present in the seven samples, appeared 
to be scarce in all of them. The Acartia was the most common 
of the five species referred to, especially in the September 
gatherings, as shown in the following tabulated list of all the

Centropages typicus, Kroyer, so frequent round the north-east 
and north of Scotland, was only observed in one of the September 
samples; so also was Istas clavipes, Boeck, a species though not 
unfrequent round the south and west of the British Islands is very 
sparingly distributed along the whole east side of Scotland and on 
the west side north of the Firth of Clyde. Anomalocera Patersoni, 
Templeton, one of the most finely coloured of the pelagic Cope- 
poda found in the British seas, and which sometimes occurs in 
considerable swarms, was only noticed very sparingly in four 
gatherings. Ozthona similis, Claus, which was more or less 
frequent in the September gatherings, was absent in those collected 
in April and May.
