Loch is a little to the west, and has a good flat weedy margin on 

 the south side, rich in Microzoa. Still a little further westward 

 is what is called the " Blind " or " Spectacle Loch." It is rather 

 deep round the edges, and overgrown with water-lilies; and I am 

 much inclined to support Dr. Brady's opinion, that where lilies 

 are plentiful Ostracoda are scarce. On the eastern side, close to 

 the village, we have " Kirk Loch," said to cover 50 acres. It did 

 not seem to promise well on the side we were on, and only a few 

 trials were made, which did not yield much. A little to the east 

 is "Castle Loch," which is of considerable extent, being said to 

 be three miles in circumference, and to cover above 150 acres. 

 Like other large lochs, the margins are too much dashed by 

 the waves to favour the growth of weed suitable to harbour 

 Ostracoda. At some little distance to the north east is " Broom- 

 hill Loch," or, as it is called by some, "Loch Broom," This is also 

 a large loch, but, unlike some of the others, has a great extent of 

 low weedy margin favourable to the growth of Ostracoda. 

 Amongst the gatherings from this loch were Cypris cinerea and 

 Darvnnella Stevoistoni, new to Scotland. The following were 

 obtained from the six lochs on 16th July, 1879: —
