Not uncommon in ponds, lochs, and shallow ditches, all the year 

 round. Common in Frankfield Loch, near Glasgow, and in 

 brackish ponds in Curnbrae. In a ditch in a plantation about a 

 mile from Bothwell, on the Bellshill Road, the species was 

 found in great abundance, together with a few of a long variety. 

 Common in the lochs of Lochmaben. 



In confinement they are occasionally very active, swimming 

 about, and sometimes coming up and resting on the side of the 

 vessel. At other times, although plentiful in the gathering, 

 scarcely one is seen till they have been a day or two in confine- 

 ment.

Found not unfrequently on bottom mud of lochs and ponds; 

 common in Lochend Loch and Gartcosh Loch, east of Glasgow; 

 very abundant in a brackish lagoon on Hunterston shore, Ayrshire ; 

 moderately common in a greenhouse tank, Cumbrae; also in the 

 bottom mud of a mill cooling pond, Paisley. Where the water 

 issued into the pond, the temperature was 90° Fahr. and the 

 surface water 80° Fahr., and they were found in the mud furthest 

 from the heat. The only other Ostracod seen was Cypridopsis vidua, 

 which was abundant at a grassy margin where the heat was 85°
