small crustacea, cn the shore near low-water mark, to the east of Inver- 
gordon, in the Cromarty Firth ; this he afterwards sent to me for exa- 
mination. Several rare Copepods have been obtained in this gathering, 
and one of them-——Ectinosoma gracile—has already been referred to ; 
another of these rare forms is the species under consideration. Only 
four specimens of Hwuntemannia were obtained in this gathering 
from Cromarty Firth, so that the species, which is very well marked, is 
probably rare. The first pair of thoracic feet are stout, the outer branches 
are three, and the inner one-jointed. They are armed with strong 
marginal spines. The basal joiut of the first feet carry each, interiorly, 
a comparatively large thumb-like process, instead of a spine. This process 
was quite conspicuous, even without dissection, in each of the four speci- 
mens obtained. Probably the species is local as well as rare,

This somewhat remarkable species was described in 1898 from one or 
two specimens obtained amongst some small Crustacea sent to me from 
Lower Loch Fyne by Mr. F. G. Pearcey. They had been dredged from 105 
fathoms. Ihave now to record the species from other two localities in 
the Clyde district, and from moderately deep water—viz., from Station 
XI1., 40-43 fathoms, washed from mud brought up in the tow-net, 29th 
August 1898; and from Station XVII., Upper Loch Fyne, washed from 
trawl refuse, 7th December 1898. Only one specimen was obtained in 
each of these two gatherings.

This well-marked and somewhat rare species was described from 
specimens obtained in the Firth of Forth. I have now to record its 
occurrence in the Cromarty Firth, having obtained it in a gathering of 
material dredged in the vicinity of Invergordon in 1896, but only recently 
examined.

What appears to be two forms of this species have been observed in 
the Moray Firth district, one a deep-water form, which appears to be 
the typical one. This was obtained in a gathering from Station XV. 
(vicinity of Smith Bank), depth 24-49 fathoms, collected 20th November 
1897. The other was obtained in the Cromarty Firth, and a little to 
the west of Invergordon, where the depth of water is only a few fathoms, 
and where there is usually a certain admixture of fresh water. 
Laophonte serrata (Claus).

Pl. XV., figs. 13-20. 
Laophonte serrata, which appears tu be a rare species, occurred in the 
same gathering in which the Huntemannia was obtained, and is now for 
the first time recorded for the Cromarty Firth district.
