PRELIMINARY NOTE. 
The Crustacea described here were obtained in collections made by 
the Fishery steamer ‘“Goldseeker” while carrying‘on work in the 
North Sea and adjacent waters under the direction of Professor 
d’Arcy W. Thompson, C.B., F.L.S., the representative for Scotland 
on the International Committee. I am indebted to Professor 
Thompson for permission to publish these notes. 
Hemilamprops norman, Bonnier. 
1876.  Hemilamprops normani, Bonnier, Campagne du ‘ Caudan,” 
Hdriophthalmes; Ann. Univ. de Lyons, p. 546, Pl. XXXIX., 
fig, 3. 
Several specimens which agree very well with Bonnier’s 
description and figures of H. normanit were obtained in deep-water 
gatherings from “ Goldseeker” Station 53 (Lat. 59°36 N., Long. 
7°0 W.), and others from a gathering collected in Lat. 59°25 N:, 
Long. 7°33 W. The telson is moderately stout, rather shorter than 
the peduncle of the uropods, and with the lateral margins finely but 
distinctly serrated throughout; the distal half of the telson is also 
furnished with about seven pairs of stiff lateral spinules, and with five 
similar spinules at the apex, the middle one being distinctly longer 
than the others. The length of the entire specimen was about 
8 mm., and therefore rather smaller than the size given by Bonnier. 
This species has a resemblence to H. cristata, G. O. Sars, which 
was also not uncommon in the “ Goldseeker” collections, but was 
readily distinguished from it by the difference in the armature of the 
telson. 
Diastylis serricauda, sp. n., 9, Pl. L., figs. 1-4. 
In its general appearance this species resembles D. longipes, G, :O- 
Sars. The cephalothorax is moderately elongated and equal to rather 
more than half the entire length. The cephalon seen from the side 
appears to be of an oval form, and on the dorsal aspect, especially 
towards the front, are a number of stiff spinules; the rostrum is 
narrow and somewhat produced in the median line, and the pleon
