94 D. BRYCE ON FIVE NEW SPECIES OF BDELLOID ROTIFERA. 



As already stated, this species was first discovered by the 

 late Forstmeister L. Bilfinger in the vicinity of Stuttgart, and 

 notified to me in 1894. It was afterwards found by Mr. George 

 Western, probably near London, and in 1904 by James Murray, 

 near Fort Augustus. In 1906 I met with it in moss gathered 

 on the bank -of a roadside ditch near Triberg, in the Black 

 Forest. Quite recently numerous examples have been found in 

 moss collected by Mr. G. K. Dunstall near Leith Hill, Surrey. 



Dimensions. Length about 315 /a. Corona 38 /x. Collar 41 /a. 



Spurs 1 to 2 /a (on inner edge).
