on July 4th. The larvae of Jaxea were abundant in 

 Tremadoc Bay on July 3rd. Callianassa larvae occurred 

 in several of the gatherings in Carnarvon Bay and 

 Cardigan Bay in July. 



A haul taken off the Selker Lightship in June was 

 largely composed of zoeas of Corystes cassivelaunus. 



Other larvae which occurred frequently during 

 summer and autumn were those of Galathea, Munida, 

 Porcellana, Ewpagurus and Portunus. No adult 

 Decapods were taken in any of the gatherings. 



Cephalopoda. — Young specimens of Loligo media, 

 up to about 12 mm. in length, were common in Cardigan 

 Bay and Carnarvon Bay during July and August. 



Fish Eggs. — These are being worked up by 

 Mr. Scott. I shall merely note here the occurrence of 

 eggs of the Anchovy in Tremadoc Bay on July 3rd, and 

 the appearance of eggs of Callionymus off Maughold 

 Head so early as the end of January. 



At the present stage of the work, I prefer not to 

 attempt to draw any conclusions as to the relation 

 between the plankton and hydrography. It is quite 

 possible, however, that a more extended series of obser- 

 vations may enable us to show that some connection 

 exists.
