the information contained in this catalogue is partly at least a compila-

(1) An extensive and valuable series of MS. records from the steam yacht 



' Medusa,' which Dr John Murray has kindly placed at my disposal.* 



(2) The Decapod and Schizopod Crustacea of the Clyde, by Dr (now 



Professor) J. R. Henderson, 



(3) A Contribution toivards a Catalogue of the Amphipoda and Isopoda 



of the Clyde (in two parts), by the late Dr Robertson of Mill- 

 port.

I have to acknowledge my indebtedness to Captain Campbell of the

 render it successful. I have also, as in former years, been greatly 

 indebted to the Rev. T. R. R. Stebbing, F.R.S., for the kindly manner 

 in which he has from time to time endeavoured to assist me with the 

 identification of Crustacean species. Professor G. S. Brady, F.R.S., 

 has also kindly assisted me on various occasions. My son, Mr Andrew 

 Scott, has prepared the series of interesting drawings which illustrate this 

 paper.
