Thirteen species of freeliving marine nematodes from the sandy beach at Firemore Bay, Wester-Ross, Scotland, are described. Amongst these we have proposed one new genus, Gairleanema, with the type species G. anagremilae gen. et sp. nov. Eleven others are new species referable to existing genera: Odontophora exharena sp. nov., Theristus (Daptonema) gelana sp. nov., Cobbia Caledonia sp. nov., Gonionchus inaequalis sp. nov., Xyala smo sp. nov., Siphonolaimus ewensis sp. nov., Metachromadora (Bradglaimus) scotlandica sp. nov., Microlaimus acinaces sp. nov., Dasynemella albaensis sp. nov., Rhabdodemania imer sp. nov., and Triliptium pari- setum sp. nov. One species (Trefusia zostericola Allgén, 1933) is redescribed, since it was hitherto poorly known.
