 seem to be very common in the Forth. This species has been taken in

 from near Port-Seaton to West Point in South Bay. A small cod was taken 

 in the shrimp-trawl, and the Lafystius may have been brought up attached 

 to the young cod. The ground colour of the Amphipod was white, 

 ornamented with numerous pale pink lines, which extended the whole 

 length of the animal ; these lines could only be observed by using a hand 

 lens. Though occasionally found in considerable numbers attached to 

 diseased fishes, it does not seem to be a common British species. I have 

 found this Amphipod on a cod-fish taken in Rothesay Bay. Mr Robertson 

 states that a dog fish captured in Kilbranan Sound had been eaten into by 

 great numbers of this species. These, when turned out, were nearly
