A Report on the Medusæ found in the Firth of Clyde (1901–1902)
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 15 September 2014
Extract
Records relating to the occurrence of medusæ in the Firth of Clyde have not been numerous, though its waters have long been a noted resort for marine naturalists. Forbes, in his Monograph on the British Naked-eyed Medusæ, states that he paid special attention to the medusæ of the Clyde, and that those which he collected while on a yachting cruise in the autumn of 1839 were the foundation of his well-known monograph. Amongst those who have made additions to the list of species I may mention the names of Landsborough, Alder, Allman, Herdman, and two well-known foreigners, Claparède and Haeckel. In June 1902 Dr Clemens Hartlaub, of Heligoland, made a short stay at the Millport Biological Laboratory, solely for the purpose of collecting medusæ, but the complete results of his labours have not yet been published.
