The last two were got in a ditch close by the Loch. 



Antermony Loch is 10 miles north-east of Glasgow, about a 

 mile east of Miltown Station. It covers about 33 acres, and at its 

 greatest depth is 20 feet. It shallows towards the sides, which are 

 mostly hard and gravelly, but a large portion is swampy and 

 grown over with tall grass. At different times of the year there 

 are different crops of vegetation. 



A day or two before my visit, heavy rains having fallen, the 

 loch was much above its usual height, and, as it had been extremely 

 dry some weeks before, it seemed very unfavourable for a successful 

 take of Ostracoda, and so it turned out. One species only was 

 very abundant — Cypris tessellata — but almost all young, and at 

 this stage they were all coarsely marked. Although this gathering 

 was rather poor, I have no doubt, from the appearance of the place, 

 that if trials were made at favourable times good gatherings would 

 be obtained. 4th November, 1878 —
