160 C. WESTERN ON ROTIFEIIS. 



apparent, viz., tubercles or horn-like processes at the base of 

 the neck on either side of the dorsal antenna. The corona is 

 powerful, and when extended is about two-thirds the width of 

 the widest part of the body. The anterior column is stout and 

 long. The buccal orifice is wide, and the lower lip large and 

 prominent. The dorsal antenna is sturdy and of the usual 

 form. The trophi are large, with two teeth on each ramus. 

 The foot, which is onlj^ protruded when the Rotifer is crawling, 

 is stout and gradual. It is armed with two fair-sized pointed 

 spurs, which are flexible at the ends, but less evidently jointed 

 than those of E. tardus. The toes are three, and also want the 

 telescopic joints of those of that Rotifer. Its average length 

 is 4^^in. 



I found it in moss which came from Epping Forest.
