LIVERPOOL BAY taken in 1889.* 
By AuFrrep O. Waker, F.L.S.,

[Read May 9th, 1890.] 
THE operations of the L.M.B.C. during 1889 have on the

and especially the Amphipoda. Many new species have 
been added to the fauna of Liverpool Bay and a few to 
that of the British Isles. 
Adopting the same plan as in the previous two Reports, 
the localities where work has been carried on may be 
enumerated as follows :— 
I. Puttin Island—chiefly shore hunting. 
Il. Isle of Man, visited at Kaster, when the electric 
light was used at various depths. These are indicated in 
the Report by E.L.b. and E.L.s. for the bottom and sur- 
face respectively. 
III. Colwyn Bay from the Little Orme (8 fath.) to 
Penmaenrhos. The greater part of the species collected 
here were obtained by using a small dredge with a frame 
of sheet brass 12in. long by 24in. wide with a bag of 
“‘cheese-cloth’’ open at the tail end but closed by a 
wrapping of string. A small lead weight was attached to 
the dredge cord about 3ft. in front of the dredge. After 
dragging the dredge for a short time on sandy ground it 
would be brought up containing a considerable quantity of
