Habitat. — We observed one or two specimens among bottom tow-net 

 material collected near May Island, and also in St Andrews Bay. ' Only 

 ' taken on one occasion at Cumbrac in the surface-net after sunset ' 

 (Robertson). t Two specimens were captured by me in East Loch Tarbert, 

 Loch Fyne, in March 1886. The specimens found at Tarbert had 

 the dorsal carina very little developed. The Forth specimens have the 

 dorsum much carinated, and probably belong to that form described as 

 A . carino-spinosa .

 easily distinguished by having the posterior pleopods short, the rami of 

 which are equal, and not longer than the peduncle.
