as striking examples of this; the unusual abundance of 

 Tornaria larvae and of Haliclystus the latter at 

 Fleshwiek especially, where it was first discovered this 

 year by Dr. O'Connell ; and the change in the character 

 of the bottom off Bay Fine, which perhaps may account 

 for the discovery there of a curious little orange-coloured 

 Coelenterate attached to the concave surface of empty 

 mussel shells, and believed by Dr. O'Connell to be young 

 Cerianthus. 



The following Hydroids, collected at Hilbre Island 

 on the occasion of the joint Liverpool and Manchester 

 Biological Societies' excursion, on May 29th, 1907, are 

 not recorded from that locality in Miss Thornely's table 

 on pp. 225-228 of the ''Fauna,' Vol. IV.

Mr. Scott's Report. 



Mr. Andrew Scott, A.L.S., has sent me his usual 

 " Faunistic Note " containing additions to our knowledge 

 of the crustacean life of our district, as follows : 



" A few additions to the fauna of the Irish Sea have 

 turned up since the last Annual Report and are recorded 

 below. These all belong to the Crustacea, and are repre- 

 sentatives of the Schizopoda, Sympoda or Cumacea, and 

 Copepoda. The worker who studies the Crustacea from 

 that portion of the Irish Sea which has been investigated 

 so long by the Liverpool Marine Biology Committee, 

 appears to have little to hope for in the way of new 

 species or even new records of known species. It is very 

 creditable to those investigators of the past, who, with
