Cyclops maerurus, G. O. Sars, and Canthoeamptus northum- 

 brieus, Brady, in Loehgelly Loch, Fifeshire. While recently 

 examining a small gathering of Entomostraca from Loehgelly Loch, 

 collected in 1890, but somehow overlooked, several comparatively 

 rare species were obtained ; and though most of them have already 

 been recorded in part ii. of my papers on " The Land and Fresh- 

 water Crustacea of the District around Edinburgh " (see "Proc. Roy. 

 Phys. Soc. Edin.," 1893, vol. xii.), two of the species are deserving 

 of special notice, viz. : (i) Cyclops macrurus, G. O. Sars so far the 

 Scotch stations for this species are few in number, and there is no 

 previous record for it in the Edinburgh district ; (2) Canthoeamptus 

 northumbricus, Brady this has not before been recorded for Fife- 

 shire, and the only other locality within the Edinburgh district 

 where it has been obtained is Duddingston Loch. Both species 

 are fully described and figured in Dr. Brady's monograph of the 

 British Copepoda, vol. i. (1878) and vol. ii. (1880); see also his 

 " Revision of the British Species of Freshwater Cyclopidse and 

 Calanidas" (1891). T. SCOTT, Leith. 



Luidia Sarsi, Diib. and Kor., in the Moray Firth. A speci- 

 men of this Starfish was captured in the Moray Firth, a few miles 

 east of Tarbet Ness, on the 25th of August last. This species is 

 quite distinct from Luidia ciliaris (Philippi), which I have also 

 recorded from the Moray Firth. It is much smaller, and has five 

 instead of seven arms. The specimen of Luidia Sarsi now recorded 

 measures fully 7 inches across from the extremity of the one arm to 

 that of the one opposite. T. SCOTT, Leith.

Lathyrus palustris, L. ("Annals," p. 247, 1896). By the 

 kindness of Mr. R. L. Praeger of Dublin, I have ascertained that 

 there is no specimen of the above species from Scotland in Mackay's 

 herbarium in Dublin. ARTHUR BENNETT. 



Forms of Euphrasia in Scotland. Herr R. v. Wettstein has 

 recently issued a very careful and elaborate " Monographic der 

 Gattung Euphrasia" ("Arbeiten d. botanischen Instit." d. K. K. 

 Deutsch Universitat in Prag, No. ix., 1896), in which he discusses 

 the assemblage of forms included under the term E. offidnalis, L., 

 in the wide sense. He admits a large number of species, very fully
