MARINE BIOLOGICAL STATION AT PORT ERIN. 57 



last Easter — tlie largest we have sent — consisted of 

 seven workers, and included in addition two students 

 from University College, London. Beyond having 

 spent a very instructive and interesting time, which 

 we are all anxious to repeat, there is nothing special 

 to report. We made a number of injections and other 

 preparations for the museum. We find Port Erin 

 suits our purposes from all points of view, and the 

 opportunities for geological and antiquarian, as well as 

 biological, work are greatly valued. Most of our 

 biological students take geology, and we are fortunate 

 in being able to supply them with the necessary 

 instruction in that subject. Our next Easter party will 

 be larger still, and our College Council has increased its 

 usual grant towards the expenses of the class." 



Mr. Andrew Scott reports to me the following 

 additions to the known Copepod fauna of the district 

 which have been met with since the last list, published 

 in the Twenty-first Annual Report : — 



" Itunella tenuiremis (T. Scott). Two specimens of 

 this Harpacticoid were found on separate occasions in 

 the plankton collected in Port Erin Bay in 1911 and 

 1912. It is very slender and easily overlooked. 



" Clytemnestra rostrata (Brady). A single specimen 

 of this interesting form occurred in a bay collection 

 taken on 24th December, 1910. It has been recorded 

 from the South of England and the West of Ireland. 



" Oncaea minuta, Giesbrecht. One or two specimens 

 from the same collection as the last. It is very small 

 and difficult to determine. The Port Erin specimens 

 (female) measured 0'62 mm. 



" Oncaea subtilis, Giesbrecht. In the same collection 

 with the two previous species. It is quite distinct from 

 the normal type of Oncaea, and can be readily recognised
