S AGIN A NIVALIS 29 



Duthie, Fishery Officer. 1 Diaptomus castor has been recorded from 

 several parts of England. 2 



CYPRIS RETICULATA (ZaddctcK). This species, which was also 

 moderately common, has not before been recorded for Aberdeen- 

 shire. Considerable numbers of the same species have also been 

 obtained by Mr. Clark in Corbie Loch. 



CYPRIS VIRENS (Jiirine). A few fine specimens of this species 

 were observed in the same pool with the other two. 



It may be noted in conclusion that in the present paper 

 over a dozen species of Entomostraca, exclusive of brackish- 

 water forms, are apparently new records for the county.
