265 Part I[I.—Seventeenth Annual Report 
Argissa hamatipes (Norman)—one of the Pontoporeiide—occurred 
sparingly in tow-net gatherings from the Clyde district as well as from the 
Moray Firth. Both male and female specimens were observed. 
The curious Stegocephaloides christianensis (Boeck) occurred in a bottom 
tow-net gathering collected in the Clyde at Station XVII. (Upper Loch 
Fyne) on 7th December 1898, ‘This species appears to be somewhat 
rare in the Clyde district. 
Amongst the Amphilochidz the somewhat rare Amphilochus tenuimanus, 
Boeck, was obtained in a bottom tow-net gathering from Station VIL, 
Firth of Clyde, collected at night on 23rd September 1898. <A. tenw- 
manus is recorded in Dr. Robertson’s Catalogue, Part I., page 28. 
Amphilochoides odontonyx (Boeck).—Amphilochoides pusillus, Sars, 
was obtained in the Clyde at Stations III., IV., VII, and IX., but only 
in bottom tow-net gatherings; while Gitana sarsi, Boeck (another of the 
same family of Amphipoda), occurred in a gathering from Station VI. 
collected on 25th August 1898. 
The family Stenothoids was represented in the tow-net gatherings from 
the Clyde by Stenothoé marina (Spence Bate), Cressa dubia (Spence 
Bate), and one or two other forms ; and in a gathering from Station XV. 
Moray Firth, Stenvthoé marina, Metopa robusta, G. O. Sars (a species 
recorded from the Moray Firth a few years ago in “ Ann, and Mag. Nat. 
Hist.,” ser. 6, vol. xiii., p. 148, February 1894), and Cressa dubia (Spence 
Bate). In Metopa robusta—the record of which in 1894 appears to be 
the first for Britain—the form of the first gnathopoda is quite distinct 
from that of the same appendages of any other British species except, 
perhaps, Metopa poleaiana. 
Monoculodes packardi, Boeck, occurred in a gathering from Station 
XVII. (Upper Loch Fyne) collected on 7th December 1898 ; and Synche- 
lidium brevicarpum (Spence Bate) at Station IV. (Kilbrennan Sound, 
Firth of Clyde) on 24th August 1898. 
Epimeria tuberculata, G. O. Sars. Two specimens of this fine species 
were obtained in a gathering from Station IV., Firth of Clyde, on Ist Sep- 
tember 1898. Hpimeria tuberculata, which appears to be a rare species 
in the Clyde, was added to the British fauna about two years ago. 
Husirus longipes, Boeck, was obtained from the Clyde in gatherings 
Stations VI, VIL, and VIII. It occurred in one gathering from Station 
VI., collected on 25th August 1890 ; in two other gatherings from Station 
VIL., collected on 3rd September and 24th September ; and in one from 
Station VIII., collected on the 29th of the same month. 
Guernea coalita (Norman), This curious little species was observed in 
washings of material dredged at Station VI., Firth of Clyde. ‘The same 
species has been captured off Millport by the late Dr. Robertson, and is 
recorded in Part II. of his catalogue of Clyde Amphipoda and Isopoda ; 
and his appears to be the only previous record of the occurrence of G. 
coalita for the Clyde. 
| Melphidippella macera (Norman). This Amphipod, though obtained 
occasionally in tow-net gatherings, is apparently scarce, as only one or a
