CHONDRACANTHID. 
Lamippe proteus, Claparéde. 
This curious little species is common on the Alcyonium digitatum, or 
‘“‘Dead-man’s Fingers,” so frequently brought up in the trawl-net or on 
fishermen’s lines. A number of specimens were recently obtained on 
pieces of Aleyonium trawled by the ‘‘ Garland” off Aberdeen. Lamippe 
proteus was first recorded from the Scottish seas in 1895 from specimens 
observed in the Firth of Forth. 
Lanuppe forbesi, T. Scott. 
1896. Lamippesp., T. Scott, Fourteenth Ann. Rept. of the Fishery 
Board for Scotland, Part IIT., p. 164, Pl. IV. figs. 9-12. 
This distinct form was first observed in the Firth of Forth in the early 
part of 1896, and the same species was almost immediately afterwards 
found by my son in Liverpool Bay. At that time it was thought it might 
be a species which was already described, and it was therefore recorded as 
“ Lamippe sp.” L. forbesi seems to be a rare species, for, although 
the portions of Alcyoniwm recently examined yielded between two and 
three hundred specimens of LZ. proteus, only two specimens of L. jforbese 
were observed after a careful search. JZ. forbesi is a distinctly larger 
species than L. proteus. 
Change of Name. 
Genus Hurynotopsyllus, nov.nom. [= Hurynotus, T. and A. Scott (1898) 
preoccupied. | ; 
In 1898 a new Copepod from the Clyde was described and figured by 
T. and A. Scott in the “ Annals and Magazine of Natural History,” s. 7, 
vol. i., p. 188, under the name of Zurynotus insolens ; it was also recorded 
under the same name in Part III. of the Sixteenth Annual Report of the 
Fishery Board for Scotland (1898), p. 279. I have now ascertained that 
Eurynotus has already been twice used—viz., by Kirby in 1817 for a 
genus of Coleoptera, and by Agassiz in 1835 for a genus of fishes; as, 
therefore, the name cannot be retained for this Copepod I propose to 
change it for the altered form Hurynotopsyllus (Eurynotus plus psyllus, 
a flea).

One whole specimen and a valve of this species occurred amongst some 
sand dredged in about 80 fathoms to the east of Fair Island in October 
last.
