Cletodes linearis, Claus. 
This was contained in a gathering of Clyde Crustacea dredged between 
Sanda and Bennan Head on November 3rd, 1896, but only recently 
examined. The species seems to be rare in the British seas. 
Cletodes monensis, I. C. Thompson. 
This somewhat curious species was first made known to science by Mr. 
I. C. Thompson, of Liverpool, in 1893.* Some time afterwards, but also in 
the same year,t I recorded its occurrence in the Moray Firth, where, 
along with some other rare Crustaceans, it had been obtained by washing 
lumps of Filograna implexa, which had been brought up in the net of the 
shrimp-trawl from a depth of about 40 fathoms, about five to seven miles to 
the northward of Rosehearty. On the present occasion I have again to record 
Cletodes monensis from the Moray Firth, but this time at about thirteen or 
fourteen miles north-east of Buckie ; it occurred along with some other 
interesting Crustaceans in a gathering collected by tow-net which had 
touched bottom at 50 to 55 fathoms, November 3rd, 1900. (This gathering 
was from the steam trawler “St. Andrew.”) I have also to record the 
same interesting species from the head of Loch Eil (at the upper end of 
of Loch Linnhe), where it was dredged by the “Garland” in 8 to 10 
fathoms on April 3rd last year. This is the first time Cletodes monensis 
has been recorded from the West of Scotland. 
Cletodes hirsutipes, T. Scott. 
This species was described in Part III. of the Fifteenth Annual 
Report (1897), from Clyde specimens. I have now to note its occurrence 
in the Moray Firth in some dredged material collected off Nairn in 1898, 
but only recently examined. One peculiarity by which this species may 
be distinguished is the character of the fifth thoracic feet, the secondary 
joints of which are lamelliform, and of a narrow-oblong outline ; their 
outer edges are fringed with a dense border of short hairs, but this fringe 
is frequently so coated with mud that it becomes necessary to clean it ere 
it can be clearly made out. 
Cletodes perplexa, T. Scott. 
This is a small species, bnt of so marked a character as to be readily 
distinguished without dissection ; it was described in 1899 in Part III. 
of the Seventeenth Annual Report from specimens dredged by the Fishery 
steamer “‘ Garland” at Smith Bank, Moray Firth. I have now to record 
the species from the head of Loch Eil; it occurred in the same gathering 
in which Cletodes monensis was obtained. It was collected on April 3rd, 
1900. 
Cletodes irrasa, T. and A. Scott. 
This appears to be a somewhat rare species in the Copepod fauna of 
Scotland, and I have obtained it in only one or two localities ; it was 
described from specimens obtained near the Bass Rock, Firth of Forth, in 
1893. It has more recently been obtained in the Clyde, and I have now

published in the Ann. and Mag. Nat. Hist. in the following February.)
