Habitat.—On the gills of a ‘John Dory’ (Zeus faber), caught in the = 
vicinity of Largo Bay, Firth of Forth. Baird (loc. cit.) gives a very 
characteristic figure of this Chondracanthus. The arrangement of the 
numerous ‘elongate appendages (they can scarcely be called spines as’ 
Baird describes them) which surround the parasite is such as to impart to 
it a somewhat handsome appearance. There does not appear to be wee 
previous record of this species from the Firth of Forth.

Habitat.—From a large ‘root’ of Laminaria brought up in the trawl. fate

were obtained, From what I can learn regarding this species it appear. 
to be somewhat rare in the British seas. It was first obtained ae Sp
