Part III. — Seventh Annual Report 



The following Schizopods have also been observed by me in the Moray- 

 Firth, in addition to those already referred to, viz., My sis ornata, G. O. 

 Sars, which was of frequent occurrence in the bottom tow-net material. 

 Boreophausia rasclii, M. Sars, taken on several occasions in great 

 abundance in the tow-net attached to the end of the beam of the trawl. 

 Nyctiplianes norvegica (M. Sars) occurred in the material along with 

 Boreophausia, but was not very common. Where the Schizopods were 

 plentiful, good hauls of fish were frequently taken by the beam-trawl 

 yet Schizopods were very seldom observed in the stomachs of the fish 

 examined, which included cod, haddock, whiting, gurnards, plaice, 

 common dabs, long roughs, &c.

 Habitat. — Occasionally in the bottom tow-net above Queensferry, in 

 moderately deep water. I have found it to bo of frequent occurrence in 

 East Loch Tarbert, and in neighbouring parts of Loch Eyne.

Habitat. — On the spines of Echinus esculentus, brought to Newhaven 

 by one of the fishing boats from the vicinity of May Island, two living 

 specimens were taken off the Echinus. This interesting species seems to 

 be found nowhere else when living than on Echini, and although its 

 distribution in the British seas extends from Shetland to the English 

 Channel, it is not a common mollusc. We are indebted to Miss Janet E. 

 Carphin, grand-daughter of the late Principal Cunningham, for this very 

 interesting addition to the Fauna of the Firth of Forth.

 Habitat.— In pools among the stones left dry at low water a little 

 east of Newhaven Pier, August 1887. This very small and curious 

 mollusc does not appear to be very rare in the pools referred to, but is
