Upper Loch Fyne just above the mud in the deepest water; also in 

 Lower Loch Fyne, in 80 to 100 fathoms. The young are found in great 

 profusion at all seasons of the year, in from 5 to 20 fathoms above the 

 mud in the deepest water in Loch Fyne (M.). 



Boreophausia Raschii (M. Sars).— Loch Fyne (B. & S.). Upper Loch 

 Fyne, between Lowburn and Dunderave, taken in the bottom tow-net 

 (G.). 



Mysidce. 



Mysidopsis gibbosa, G. 0. Sars. — East Loch Tarbert (B. & S.). In 

 Barmore Bay and other parts of Loch Fyne, Head of Upper Loch Fyne 

 (G.). 



Mysidopsis didelphys (Norman). — Near the head of Loch Fyne, May 

 1896 (G.). 



Mysidopsis augusta, G. O. Sars. — Barmore Bay, Loch .byne, m 4 

 fathoms ; rare (B. & S.) 



Leptomysis linguara, G. O. Sars. — East Loch Tarbert ; moderately tre- 

 quent(B. & S ). 



Leptomysis gracilis, G. O. Sars. — Between Loch Gair and Largymore, 

 and between Lowburn and Dunderave Castle, Upper Loch Fyne (G.). 



Macromysis flexuosa (O. F. Midler). — East Loch Tarbert, among Zos- 

 tera ; frequent (B. & S.). Upper Loch Fyne, inshore (M.). 



*Praunus inermis (Ratlike). — East Loch Tarbert, among Zostera 

 (B. & S.). Upper Loch Fyne, between Inverae and Furnace (G.). 



*Praunus neglectus (G. O. Sars). — Mouth of Loch Fyne, 60 fathoms, 

 mud j a single specimen from a tow-net attached to the trawl (Hender- 

 son). 



Hemimysis Lamorna? (R. Q. Couch). — East Loch Tarbert, among 

 zostera, not very rare (B. & S.). Tarbert Bank, in 20 to 25 fathoms (G.). 

 When alive, the species is of a bright red or scarlet colour. 



Neomysis vulgaris (J. V. Thompson). — Loch Dhu, near Inveraray (J. 

 Pringle). Prof. Bell, in British Stalk-eyed Crustacea, in describing this 

 species, refers to a My sis obt lined by Dr Leach at Loch Ranzn, Arran, 

 and described by him as M. integer. The description of M. integer by Dr 

 Leach is imperfei t, but Prof. Bell is of the opinion that it is identical with 

 M. vulgaris, J. V. Thompson. Dr Leach's record appears to be the only 

 one for the Clyde district, hitherto— it is the only one referred to by Dr 

 Henderson, in his Decapod and Schizopod Crustacea of the Clyde. 

 It is of interest, therefore, to have this confirmation of the fact that Mysis 

 (now Neomysis) vulgaris is a member'of the Clyde fauna. Loch Dhu is 

 a small brackish water loch at the mouth of the river Shira, uear Inver- 

 aray, into which the tide flows and ebbs. Mr Pringle, of H.M. Ordnance 

 Survey, who obtained the species in Loch Dhu, kindly handed his speci- 

 mens over to me for examination, when I found them to belong to the 

 Mysis referred to. This Mysis is not an uncommon species in Scotland
