Amongst trawl refuse, which had been collected 14 miles 

 N. by W. from Liverpool N.W. Light Vessel in the same 

 haul from which Petalosarsia was got in the tow-net. 

 This sponge had not been taken before on the west coast 

 of Britain, and we are indebted to Dr. Hanitsch for the 

 name. 



Note. It may be of interest to record here the occur- 

 rence of the Calanid Candace pectinata, Brady, in the 

 Irish Sea. It was found among some surface tow-net 

 material collected by Mr. K. L. Ascroft off Lambay Island 

 on the Irish coast, about 10 miles N.E. of Dublin, while 

 on board a trawler working there in November, 1894. 

 Mr. Ascroft also kindly sent to the Fishery Laboratory 

 for examination some material which he obtained when 

 trawling off Galley Head, Co. Cork. This has been 

 examined by Mr. A. 0. Walker who reports the following 

 interesting and rare Amphipods and other higher Crustacea, 

 viz. : — Hemilamprops assimilis, Biastylis (? n. sp.), Ciro- 

 lana borealis, Parathemisto oblivia, Gallisoma crenata, 

 Hippomedon denticulatus , Orchomenella cilia ta, Typho-

 pes, Monoculodes carinatus, Epimeria comigera, and 

 Paratylus vedlomensis. 



Summary and Conclusions.

 and in former reports and which seem to us still to be 

 pressing for attention and to be well worthy of serious 

 consideration. These are : — 



1 Q In regard to Shrimping : — -A fair trial of the Croisic 

 trap (see Report II., p. 128) and a trial of artificial Shrimp
