SOME ADDITIONS to the FAUNA of LIVERPOOL 



BAY, 



Collected May 1st, 1900, to Atexl 30th, 1901. 



By Andrew Scott. 



[Read May 10th, 1901.] 



Since the publication of the paper by I. C. Thompson, 

 E.L.S., and myself in the Transactions of the Society for 

 last year,* further additions to the published lists have 

 turned up. The new records, chiefly Crustacea, were 

 found while carrying on various investigations connected 

 with fisheries work in the Piel Laboratory, partly during 

 the past year and earlier portion of the present one. 



This report represents an addition of thirty species not 

 previously recorded for the district. All of these have 

 come under my own observation. The additions include, 

 one sporozoan fish parasite, six worm parasites of fishes, 

 and twenty-two crustaceans, represented by one Macrurid, 

 two Sympoda, one Branchiurid, four Ostracoda, and four- 

 teen Copepoda. Of the Copepoda, only two are non- 

 parasitic ; the other twelve are parasites on various fishes. 

 The latter include one new species and another for which 

 a new genus is now established. A number of the addi- 

 tions are here recorded for the first time from the sea 

 round the English coasts.
