The Amphipoda dealt with in this paper were collected in August, 1906, by Dr. Allen, to whom I am indebted for the opportunity of examining them.The collection contained thirty-five species (belonging to twenty families), of which one only, Tryphosites alleni, is new to science. Five others, Stenothoe richardi, Syrrhoites walkeri, Syrrhoe affinis, Eusirus biscayensis, and Rhachotropis rostrata, are recorded for the first time since their original discovery. The geographical range of five species has been considerably extended, viz. Syrrhoe affinis, Tmetonyx similis, Sympleustes glaber, Epimeria parasitica, and Laetmatophihis tuberculatus; the four last forms have not been hitherto recorded with certainty south of Norway.

I am indebted to the courtesy of Dr. Allen for the opportunity of examining the collections of these two orders of Crustacea in the Huxley's material.None of the species are new to science, and but few of them present any features worthy of remark. The chief interest of the collection lies in its bearing on the known geographical distribution of the species captured for, out of a total of twenty-eight, no fewer than sixteen are recorded for the first time from localities south of the British Islands, while only eight of the species have previously been recorded from the Bay of Biscay. The bathymetrical range of five of the species recorded has been considerably increased by this material.

Of the three species of Brachiopoda found, two, Magellania cranium and M. septigera, are found in the British list. The third species, Mühlfeldtia truncata, has not, as far as I can discover, previously been recorded from so high a latitude, Turton's Torbay locality being very doubtful.

Only one species met with on this cruise appears to have been previously undescribed.Although all the other species were already known from similar localities in the North-east Atlantic, attention may be called to an interesting series of the young of Synaphobranchus pinnatus and to the capture of numerous young examples of Onus biscayensis.When compared with the results of the hauls taken by H.M.S. Research, a little farther south and over very much deeper soundings, the list of species taken by the Huxley is chiefly remarkable for the entire absence of Stomias boa, Gonostoma microdon, and G. bathyphilum, the range of none of which seems to extend into waters as shallow as those fished by the Huxley.

First Time

In this paper we report for the first time the occurrence of Parablennius sanguinolentus in mainland Portuguese waters. Since this species is common in the Mediterranean and in the Bay of Biscay, there appears to be a distributional gap along the Portuguese coast. The present finding, together with recent data on the occurrence of several other blenniids in the Atlantic coast of the Iberian Peninsula, formerly supposed to be Mediterranean endemics, stresses the urgent need for detailed zoogeographical investigations on the inshore fish fauna of south-west Europe.Parablennius sanguinolentus (Pallas, 1811) is widespread in the Mediterranean (Zander, 1986). On the Atlantic coast of Europe, however, it was known only from the Bay of Biscay where it is abundant in some places (Motos & Ibañez, 1979), from the north-west coast of Spain (Devesa et al., 1979) and recently from the Atlantic coast of Andalucía (Spain) (Rubio, 1991). It is also very common in the Azores, Madeira and Canary Islands if one assumes that P. parvicornis (Valenciennes, 1836) belongs to the same species, but this is as yet an unresolved issue (Zander, 1979; Almeida & Harmelin-Vivien, 1983; Bath, 1990; Santos, 1992). Although Zander (1986) presented a distributional map that includes the mainland Portuguese coast, no report on the occurrence of this species was known for this area. In a survey of the literature on the blennioid fishes occurring in Portuguese waters, we could not find a single citation that could possibly be ascribed to P. sanguinolentus for mainland Portugal (Oliveira et al., 1992).

New Fish Species

Four new fish species have been recorded for the first time in the last few years in Galician waters: Physiculus dalwigkii, Neoscopelus microchir, Gaidropsarus granti and Pisodonophis semicinctus. The captures of Physiculus dalwigki, N. microchir and G. granti represent a new northern limit for their distribution in the north-east Atlantic, increasing their geographical range of distribution considerably while the capture of Pisodonophis semicinctus is the second record for the Atlantic European waters.

The principal feature of interest in these collections is the presence of a single fine specimen of Corallium maderense. Only one other specimen of this species has hitherto been obtained, and no specimen of the family has hitherto been recorded from the Bay of Biscay

Bathymetrical Distribution

The Hydroids collected on the northern edge of the Bay of Biscay during a five days” cruise in August, 1906, by Dr. E. J. Allen, were entrusted to me for examination. I thank my friend Dr. Allen for giving me the opportunity of working through the collection, which contained thirty-seven species, including two new species (Bimeria arborea and Bimeria biscayana) and several rare deep-sea forms.Our knowledge of the area occupied by the British Hydroids has been increased by this cruise. All the species taken at six out of the eight stations have been previously recorded for the British area. It was only at the two stations over 400 fathoms that foreign species occurred. Bathymetrical distribution has also made an advance, as several species were taken at a depth considerably greater than that hitherto recorded for them.

The collection of Decapoda made by the Huxley during her short cruise on the north side of the Bay of Biscay is an extensive one; it comprises no less than forty-nine species—a number which speaks well for the efficiency of the gear employed.
