Leptocephalus morrisii, a perfect specimen of the tape- 

 worm form of the " Leptocephalus " stage of the conger 

 eel, was found by a local fisherman. The fish was 

 discovered in a small pool between tide marks on the 

 East side of Foulney Island, near Barrow. It was alive 

 when captured, but as the man had no means of keeping 

 it alive he brought it to me dead. The fish was like a 

 strip of softened gelatine, and so thin and transparent 

 that it was possible to read ordinary print through it. 



The eggs of mackerel, long rough dab and variegated 

 sole have been taken in various tow-nettings during the 

 year. They have never previously been detected in the 

 area, although the adult fish are not uncommon. The 

 eggs of the anchovy were found in tow-nettings from 

 Aberdovey in June and July. Ten years ago, the late 

 R. L. Ascroft found them off Lytham, which was the 

 first record of their occurrence in British seas. 



Eurydice spinigera, H. J. Hansen, five specimens of 

 this isopod were taken in a surface tow-netting in Red 

 Wharf Bay on September 7th, and one near New Quay 

 Head on October 7th, 1906. - 



Eurydice inermis, H. J. Hansen, one specimen was 

 captured by the surface tow-net during the cruise of the 

 s.y. " Madge/' two miles West of Bradda Head, on 

 September 8th. 



Dajus mysidis, Kroyer, one female of this parasitic 

 isopod was found in the incubatory pouch of a Mysis 

 ornatus taken in a bottom tow- netting, in the vicinity of 

 the Liverpool North-West Light Ship on January 31st, 

 1906. A large number of Mysis were captured, but only 

 one had a parasite. 



Aster ope marice (Baird), one specimen of this ostracod 

 was found in a surface tow-netting taken late at night ii)
