Inchkeith on June 8th, 1891, I found amongst other things a single male 
specimen of the Zabidocera referred to. Ido not think that this species 
has been before recorded from the Firth of Forth. 
Cyclopina gracilis, Claus.

X., figs. 8-15. 
Specimens of this small but distinct species were obtained in a gather- 
ing of material dredged in the vicinity of Otter Spit, Upper Loch Fyne, 
during the early part of the year. This gathering contained a large 
number of comparatively rare copepods, several of which are referred to 
in the present ‘“ Notes.” 
Notodelphys prasina, Thorell. 
1859. Notodelphys prasina, Thorell, Bidr. till Kanned. om 
Krustac. 1 Ascid., p. 46, Pl. V., fig. 7. 
This copepod has occurred frequently in Ascidians dredged from 
Tarbert Bank, Loch Fyne, during recent months. NV. prasina has very 
short caudal furca, and by this character alone it may be readily dis- 
tinguished from the other species of NVotodelphys hitherto recorded from 
Scotland. Notodelphys allmani, Thorell, is also occasionally found in 
Clyde Ascidians, but does not seem to be just so common as the species” 
first named. 
Doropygus pulex, Thorell. 
1859. Doropygus pulex, Thorell, op. cit., p. 46, Pl. VL, fig. 8. 
A few specimens of this curious species were obtained in Ascidians 
dredged at Tarbert Bank, Loch’Fyne (17-20 fathoms), in October 1899. 
In this species the caudal furca are “slightly elongate” and ‘‘ becoming 
gradually thin, or tapering, towards the distal end” (Canu, Copep. du 
Boulonn., p. 195). Doropygus pulex appears to be somewhat rare in the 
Clyde area. 
Doropygus (1) gibber, Thorell. 
1859. Doropygus gibber, Thorell, op. cit., p. 52, Pl. VIIL., fig. 11. 
One or two specimens of a Doropygus, apparently belonging to this 
species, were found in some dredged material from Tarbert Bank, Loch 
Fyne. Dr. Giesbrecht* considers this to be more nearly related to 
Notopterophorus than to Doropygus. 
Doropygus porcicauda, G. S. Brady. 
1878. Doropygus porcicauda, Brady, Mon. Brit. Copep., vol. 
p. 188, Pl. XXVII., figs. 1-9; Pl. XXXIIL., figs. 14-16. 
Several specimens of this hn and Ot Bently distinct species were 
obtained in the same dredged material as the last. In this species the 
caudal rami are of considerable length, somewhat divergent and more or 
less curved. It does not seem to be very uncommon in Loch Fyne 
Ascidians.

I have on one or two different occasions found in gatherings of dredged 
material from the Clyde odd specimens of an Hnterocola usually of a
