Moderately common amongst the roots of vegetation, and 

 occasionally in the mud at the bottom, but apparently at no great 

 depth. Excessively abundant in the month of May in the old 

 dam that supplies the engine of the Govan Colliery. They were 

 rather thin, and of a bright green colour, with very little of the 

 usual clouding. The pond was covered at the time with old matted 

 green confervce.

This well-marked species is common in lochs, tarns, and canals, 

 but is rather local. It is not in any of my gatherings from either 

 Lewis or Skye. Common in Glasgow and Paisley Canal ; Loch Fad, 

 Bute; Dudclingston Loch, Edinburgh; Mill Loch, Lochmaben. 

 In great abundance in a cooling pond at Mr. Barr's turning works, 

 Paisley, the temperature of the water being 85° Fahr. In a 

 jar that I had kept for ten days the water had acquired a strong 

 offensive smell from plant and animal decomposition, yet this 

 species seemed to all appearance in good health ; the only other 

 Entomostracan that had survived with it was Cyclops quadricornis. 

 In confinement it makes little or no effort to escape when pursued,
