236 Horr & Beaumonr—Survey of Fishing-grounds, W. Coast of Ireland, 1890-91. 
Genus Leptomysis, G. O. Sars. 
Leptomysis gracilis, G. O. Sars. 
Survey—Station 118.  Ballinskelligs Bay, 6 fathoms, sand. 21st August, 
1890. 
Station 12la. Inside the Nymph Bank, off Ballycottin, 41 fathoms, sand. 
28th August, 1890. 
Station 1380. Kenmare river, off Sneem, 24 fathoms, mud. 30th March, 
1891. 
No Previous Irish Record. 
Distribution.—K. Seotland; Shetland (A. M. N.*): Plymouth (W. Gar- 
stang !). 
Norway; Boulonnais, France (A. M. N.*): North Sea, central parts (Ehren- 
baum). 
LL. gracilis does not figure in Walker’s records from the Irish Sea, so that a 
considerable gap occurs in the recorded distribution of this species on the British 
coasts. On the south and east coasts of England the gap is possibly due to want 
of observation, but it is much less likely that any Schizopod, abundant on the W. 
coast of England and Scotland, should escape the attention of Mr. Walker and 
Mr. Thomas Scott. 
An abnormal example in the Irish collection has one large median terminal 
spine on the telson, and two large postero-lateral spines, which each appear to 
have been separated from the median by one (possibly two) small spines, now 
missing. Many lateral spines have been lost by the telson, and the antennal 
scales are imperfect, but the hispid skin and characteristic rostrum sufficiently 
associate the specimen with JL. gracilis. 
Leptomysis mediterranea, G. O. Sars. 
Survey—Station 145. Killeany Bay, Aran. 8th April, 1891. 
A single specimen, 18 mm. long, caught in a small calico trawl. The large 
number of setze on the distal joints of the antennal scales is noteworthy = 12 on 
the internal, 16 on the external border. 
Marine Laboratory.—Mouth of Killeany Bay, 25th March, 1899. 
No Previous Irish Record. 
Distribution —Channel Islands; Starcross, Devon (A. M. N.*): Plymouth (W. 
Garstang !). 
Spain; Mediterranean (A. M. N.*): Heligoland (Ehrenbaum).
