Habitat.—Sandy shore east of Burntisland. This species seems to be 
rather uncommon within the Forth area. There does not appear to be 
any previous record of it from the Forth. I obtained it by digging up 
the sand down to 4 or 5 inches, and then passing the sand through a fine 
wire sieve. It ‘has been taken near Falmouth by Dr Leach; at Moray 
‘ Firth by the Rev. G. Gordon; on the coast of Cumberland by Mr 
‘ Albany Hancock; and in Oxwick Bay by Mr Moggridge and Dr J. 
‘Gwyn Jeffreys..* Mr David Robertson of Cumbrae records it as 
_ ©moderately common all round our sandy shores near low water, and 
taken most successfully by the sieve.’ 
It will be observed from the references given that this pretty Amphipod 
has received a considerable amount of attention from authors, Rev. Mr 
Stebbing remarks (doc. cit.); ‘The excellent name Sulcator might well 
‘ have been allowed to stand, but since that has been displaced on grounds 
‘of priority, first by Pterygocera and then by Lepidactylis, it seems only 
‘ just to go back a step farther to Miiller’s Haustorwus.’ I have adopted 
this very reasonable proposal.

Habitat.—Firth of Forth, west of May Island, taken with tow-net fixed 
to the head of the beam trawl. This appears to be a rare species in the — 
Firth of Forth. It somewhat resembles Dexamine or Atylus. The one 
or two specimens I have observed in the Forth were, when captured, of a — 
bright red colour, but from some cause none of them were perfect.
