 of the Fauna of the Forth Area," Proc. Roy. P/iys. Soc. Edin., vol. xvii., 

 1909, p. 25. [The occurrence of " Gordius aquaticus of authors " is recorded 

 from the Braid Burn, the Tyne at East Linton, etc., but as the specimens 

 have not been preserved their specific identity is uncertain.] 



Johnston, Geo., 1836. — " Illustrations in British Zoology, Gordius aquaticus" 

 in Loudon's Mag. Mat. Hist., vol. ix., 1836, p. 355, fig. 52. [From the 

 reference to areolar markings on the skin in Johnston's description, it is 

 probable that the species to which he refers was Paracfiordodcs violaceus, and 

 not Gordius aquaticus. He gives, however, no definite locality records.]
