Hype kiltie. 



Hyperia galba (Montagu). 



Females common in the bell of Bhizostoma pulmo 

 throughout the district : males rather scarce. Mr. R. 

 Newstead who collected some large ovigerous females 

 from lobster pots at Bull Bay, Anglesea, says that the 

 large eyes were very luminous. Length 10 mm. 



Hyperoche tauriformis (Bate, 1868) = H. kroyeri, Boval- 

 lius, 1885. 



One young male in a tow-net attached to a buoy at 

 Puffin Island. An examination of the remains of the 

 specimens labelled as above in Sp. Bate's Collection, at 

 Plymouth, has satisfied me of the identity of the above 

 two species which were separated by Bovallius.* Bate's 

 name of course should have priority. Length 3 mm. 



[Parathemisto oblivia (Kroyer). 



A few taken in a tow-net attached to a trawl beam by 

 Mr. R. L. Ascroft, off Galley Head, Co. Cork. Length 

 5 mm.] 



Okchestiim;. 



Talitrus locusta (Pallas). 



Abundant under drift-weed about high water mark, at 

 Colwyn Bay. Length 18 mm. 



Orchestia littorea (Mont.)==0. gammarellus? (Pallas). 



Under stones above high water mark. Tal y Cafn, 

 Conway River ; Burton Bock, Dee ; Fleshwick Bay and 

 Port Erin, Isle of Man ; at the latter place it is very 

 abundant and sometimes invades the laboratory in great 

 numbers. One specimen taken at dead low water at 

 Colwyn Bay. Length 18 mm. 



Hyale nilssonii (Bathke). 



Among stones and algae on shore at Hilbre Island,
