has been recorded for the British Islands by Spence Bate under the name 
of Cyrtophium tuberculatum. 
Dulichia porrecta (Bate). 
This easily distinguished species was obtained in a gathering collected 
by the “Garland” at Muckle Ferry, Dornoch Firth, May 19th, and also 
in a.gathering collected hy the steam trawler “St. Andrew” fifty miles 
south-south-east of Fair Island, October i6th, 1900. 
Dulichia monacantha, Metzger. 
This Dulichia was recorded for the first time as a British species in 
the “ Annals of Scottish Natural History” for January, 1898, p. 55, and 
afterwards in the Sixteenth Annual Report of the Fishery Board for 
Scotland (1898), Part III., p.277. The specimens, which were from the 
Clyde, comprised a male possessing the well-developed horn-like processes 
of the first coxal plates and one or two doubtful females. During the 
recent investigations carried out in the North Sea by the steam trawler 
“St. Andrew” numbers of small fish were captured, some of which were 
handed over to me for examination in order to ascertain what they had 
been feeding on; among these were a number of Haddocks about four to 
five inches in length, captured about sixty-five miles south-east by east cf 
Sumburgh Head, Shetland, on September 4th, and it was interesting to find, 
in nearly all the stomachs examined, specimens of Dulichta monacantha ; 
in several instances the stomachs of the young Haddocks were crowded 
with nothing else ;-both males and females of the Amphipod occurred, but 
the males appeared to be the most numerous, and unfortunately almost 
all of them had been more or less damaged by the teeth of the fish. 
Fragments of Dulichia porrecta were also observed, and also of Aceres 
phyllonyx, and a few other forms, but these appeared to be rare. Dulichia 
monacantha occurred also in a bottom tow-net gathering collected about 
fifty miles south-east of Fair Island on October 19th (1900). 
CAPRELLIDA. 
Phtisica marina, Slabber. 
This species was not uncommon in gatherings collected to the east of 
Fair Island, October 19th, 1900. 
Protella phasma (Mout.). 
This was occasionally obtained in gatherings collected otf Aberdeen in 
October and November last by the Fishery steamer “ Garland.” 
Caprella (1) septentrionalis, Kroyer. 
The Caprellas which I have ascribed to Kroyer’s C. septentrionalis were 
on several occasions obtained in the stomachs of Pollack, Gadus pollachius, 
captured in the salmon-fishers’ nets in the Bay of Nigg, but rarely in the 
stomach of the Cod; they were observed in the stomachs of these fishes 
during April and May last year, and I have no notes of their occurrence 
during any of the other months. An immense number of Caprellas were 
obtained in the stomach of a half-grown Pollack captured on April 20th ; 
males and females appeared to be equally numerous, the stomach was 
packed with them. Among other things observed in this stomach: were 
one or two /dotea pelagica and fragments of two Amathilla homarv.
