Habitat.—Vicinity of Inchkeith Island and other parts of the Forth. 
Not uncommon. The second last pair of pereiopods are comparatively 
long. The epimeral plates of the last segment of the metasom have the 
lower distal angle rounded, and provided posteriorly with a single small 
tooth on either side, or with two or three small teeth of unequal size.

Habitat.—Vicinity of the Bass Rock (1892), and in other parts of the 
Forth area. Though not recorded till now, this species has been in my 
possession for a considerable time. The Forth specimens are comparatively 
small. Another species of the Ampeliscide, Byblis gaimardit, Kroyer, 
has been, on the authority of Metzger,* recorded from the vicinity of St 
Abb’s Head, at the mouth of the Firth of Forth (see Leslie and Herdman’s 
‘Invertebrate Fauna of the Firth of Forth,’ p. 105 (Appendix), and 
- ‘Revised List of Crustacea of the Firth of Forth,’ by the author) ; but G. 
O. Sars, in his new work on ‘The Crustacea of Norway,’ does not include 
the British Islands in his notes on the distribution of the species. It is, 
perhaps, therefore right to state that I am able to corroborate Metzger’s 
record from having been fortunate in capturing a fine specimen of Ayblis 
gaimardu, Kroyer, near the May Island, in January 1890. Had there 
been time a description with drawings of the species would have been 
prepared for the present Report, but this may be done later.

1894. Amphilochoides pusillus, T. and A. Scott (31), p. 147. 
Habitat.—Vicinity of the Bass Rock. Not common. This species has 
no tooth at the base of the dactylus of the first pair of gnathopods, and 
the palm of the second pair of gnathopods is finely serrate only on the 
distal half ; the other half is even, or nearly so, and bears a few minute 
setae. 
Family STENOTHOIDA. 
Genus Metopa, Boeck (1870). 
Metopa propinqua, G. O. Sars. 
1892. Metopa propingua, G. O. Sars (29), p. 264, pl. xciii. fig. 1. 
Habitat.—Off Crail, 1892. Rare. 
The telson of this species is furnished with three strong denticles on 
each side of the upper surface and near to the margin. The second gnath- 
opods are also moderately stout. The Forth specimen agrees with Sars’ 
description of the species in all its principal characters. Several of the 
species of Mefopa are very small and troublesome to diagnose.
