THE RHIZOPODS OF SCOTLAND 187 



Euglypha strigosa (Ehr.), Leidy. 

 As sit Una muscorum, Greeff. 

 Sphenoderia Jissirostris, Penard. 

 Corythion dubium, Taranek. 

 Trinema /ineare, Penard. 

 Ditrema flava, Archer. 

 Amphitrema stenostoma, Niisslin. 



Of these JV. tincta was fairly common and interesting in 

 showing no signs of superficial discs to the test, which was clear 

 yellow-brown, and plainly represented the Hyalosphenia tincta of 

 Leidy. (Size 90-100 /x.) 



In tabulating the results, again the sphagnum gatherings 

 are recorded separately from the drier moss gatherings, 

 although, as will be seen from the species recorded, the 

 distinction is not absolute, and material obtained from 

 closely lying districts has been grouped. 



I have to thank Mr Wm. Evans for the gathering from 

 Ridgehead Moss, near Avonbridge (E. Stirling), which he 

 kindly sent me, and which is here included. As will be 

 noticed, it furnished some interesting forms of Pontigulasia. 



The gathering of dry moss from the Culbin Sand Hills yielded 

 more species and individuals than such an unpromising situation 

 led one to expect. 



Comparison of the list given for the pinewoods near Forres, 

 with that previously given for similar pinewoods near Blairgowrie 

 (see 1, p. 228) brings out, again, the likeness between the faunas 

 of similar situations in distant parts of the country. 



Plagiopyxis callida, Penard, is a species which had been over- 

 looked by naturalists until Dr Penard drew attention to it in his 

 description of its peculiarities (see 9, p. 936). It appears to be 

 widely distributed. 



Hekopera sphagni, Leidy, does not seem to have been reported 

 previously from Scotland. It is much less common than the other 

 species of Ifeleopera, and appears to be local in its distribution. 



Sphenoderia macrolepis, Leidy, another very local and scarce 

 form, occurred at Ford (L. Awe), together with Nebela tenel/a, 

 Penard. 



Nebela scotica, Brown, described from Ben Ledi (see 2, p. 79, 

 and 1) was present in typical form in Glen Ogle, a locality which 

 furnished some rich material.
