278 Part III.—Nineteenth Annual Report 
Sub-Order MACRURA. 
CALLIANASSIDA. 
Callianassu subterranea (Mont.). 
A specimen of this Crustacean, obtained in the stomach of a common 
Gurnard, T'rigla gurnardus, captured in the Moray Firth, was forwarded. 
to the Laboratory at Bay of Nigg by Mr. F. G. Pearcey, Naturalist on 
board the ‘‘Garland.” The specimen, which, though recognisable, was 
considerably decomposed, was obtained on June the 14th at Station IX. 
(about eleven or twelve miles north-east of Lossiemouth), Callianassa 
subterranea has been known for many years as one of the invertebrates of the 
Moray Firth district. The species was obtained by Thomas Edward of 
Banff, and it has also been obtained on several occasions by Mr. Sim of 
Aberdeen, but always in the stomachs of fishes captured in moderately 
deep water, and where the bottom appears to consist of soft mud. 
EHupogebia deltura, Leach. 
A specimen of Eupogebia deltura was found in the stomach of a 
Haddock 134 inches long, captured in the Moray Firth at Station VII. 
(about five miles east of Tarbat Ness), in February, 1900, and forwarded 
to the Laboratory at Bay of Nieg by Mr. F. G. Pearcey. Hupogebia 
deltuia, which is also one of the Crustaceans obtained in the Moray Firth 
by the late Thomas Edward of Banff, appears to have a habitat similar to 
that of Callianassa. 
CRANGONID. 
Pontophilus spinosus, Leach. 
A few fine specimens of this species were obtained by the “ —— . 
in 40 to 50 fathoms, off Aberdeen, in November last year. 
Cheraphilus neglectus, G. O. Sars. 
A few specimens of this Crangonid were collected by Mr. H. C. 
Williamson in the Bay of Nigg in August last year. A fine specimen 
was also obtained in a gathering collected by the “Garland” in 7 to 8 
fathoms at Station I., Moray Firth (between Burghead and the mouth of 
the River Findhorn), on December 12th. This species resembles Hgion 
fasciatus (Risso), but in the first the front of the rostrum is broadly 
rounded, while in the other the rostrum is truncate and slightly concave 
at the apex. 
HIPPOLYTIDA. 
Caridion gordoni (Spence Bate). 
This species was moderately frequent in a gathering collected by the 
“Garland” in 60 fathoms, off Aberdeen, on the 25th October last; the 
majority of the specimens I observed were, however, more or less 
immature. Caridion differs from the closely-allied Hippolyte and 
Spirontocaris by the possession of a three-jointed mandible-palp. 
Spirontocaris securifrons, Norman. 
This Crustacean was moderately common in some gatherings collected 
by the “Garland,” off Aberdeen, in October and November last year.
