Extract

Parasites occurred on Erythrops serrata (G. O. Sars) and E. elegans (G. O. Sars) caught in the Clyde sea area and were identified tentatively as species of Thalassomyces, belonging to the Ellobiopsidae (Mauchline, 1968). Wim Vader of the Biological Station, Espegrend, Norway, however, on seeing the drawing of the parasite published by me pointed out that it was more probably a species of choniostomatid copepod. The parasites have now been re-examined and compared with Hansen's (1897) descriptions of these copepods.
