478 Part I1I.—Twentieth Annual Report 
stomachs of fishes. Ampelisca brevicornis (A. Costa), occurred in fishes’ 
stomachs from the Shetland district and the Firth of Forth ; and Haploops 
tubicola was also obtained in the Forth estuary and off Aberdeen. 
STEGOCEPHALIDA, 
Stegocephaloides (?) christianiensis (Boeck). Pl. XXV., figs. 34-40. 
Stegocephaloides christianiensis has again been observed in Loch Fyne, 
where it appears to be generally, though sparingly, distributed. Three 
specimens of what seems to be a variety of this species was dredged by 
the “ Garland” in the Soundof Mull in 72 fathoms on March 31st, 1900. 
The fourth pair of coxal plates in these specimens are scarcely so broad 
in proportion to their length as in the typical forms (fig. 34). The 
basal joints of the last pereiopods do not terminate so acutely, but have 
the ends slightly rounded (fig. 38). The last epimeral plates of the 
metasome do not appear to be minutely notched on the low distal angles 
(fig. 39); and the telson seems to be slightly broader in proportion to 
its length (fig. 40). | The other parts are similar to those of Stegocepha- 
loides christianiensis. | 
AMPHILOCHIDA, 
The somewhat rare Amphilochus tenuimanus, Boeck, was obtained in 
the stomach of a small Whiting from Station III., Firth of Forth, in 
April. Amphilochoides intermedius was dredged at the same station on 
May 25th. Gutana sarsw, Boeck, was also obtained in this gathering, 
along with a few other species noticed in the sequel. 
METOPIDA, 
Metopa pusilla, G. O. Sars, was obtained in some dredged material 
from the west end of Station III. collected in May, and in similar 
material from Stations V. and VII. collected in April—all from the 
Firth of Forth. Metopa pollexiana was obtained in gatherings collected 
off Aberdeen and to the east of the Shetland Islands; it was also 
dredged at the west end of Station IIL, Firth of Forth, on May 23rd, 
1901, and Sthenometopa (Metopa) robusta (G. O. Sars) was also obtained 
in the same gathering, as well as off the North Craig—also in the Firth 
of Forth—in 8 fathoms, in July. 
DEXAMINIDA. 
The somewhat rare Guernia coalita (Norman) has been dredged in the 
Firth of Forth, where it has been previously observed; it was also 
dredged at Smith Bank in the Moray Firth, in 24 fathoms, on February 
15th, and in Loch Linnhe in 48 fathoms on September 12th, 1901. 
GAMMARID&. 
Mera loveni (Bruzel.) was obtained in the stomach of a Witch-sole, 
Pleuronectes cynoglossus, captured at Station V., Firth of Forth, by the 
“Garland” on June 28th, 1901; this is one of the rarer species in the 
Firth estuary. Megaluropus agilis, Norman, was obtained in gatherings 
of dredged material from Stations IV. and V., Firth of Forth, on the 
22nd and 24th April; while Chetroccrates swndevalli (Rathke) and 
Chetroccrates assimilis (Lilljeborg) were dredged at the north-west end of 
Inchkeith, Firth of Forth, on May 23rd, 1901.
