from the Gulf of St. Lawrence which is supposed to belong to 

 this species, and which was found on a kind of Stickleback, 

 Gasterosteus hiaculeatus, Shaw. 



CLADOCERA. 



The three species of Cladocera observed in these gatherings 

 from the Gulf of St. Lawrence are all common and widely dis- 

 tributed forms. Several examples of both Evadne nordmanni 

 and Podon leucharti were obtained, but the small Podon 

 polyphemoides was very rare, and it was only by dissecting 

 the one or two specimens noticed that I was sure of the species. 



The Hepaticae of the Clyde Area. 

 By Peter Ewing, F.L.S. 



[Read 26th May, 1903.] 



It may seem premature to again submit a list of the Hepaticae 

 of the Clyde Area, seeing that I am supposed to have submitted 

 a list for the British Association Handbook only last year. For 

 that list, however, I disclaim all responsibility, and have no 

 hesitation in saying that it is not correct, though my name 

 appears in conjunction with it. 



The Clyde Area is well defined as " the land draining into the 

 Clyde or Firth of Clyde north of the most southern points of 

 Ayrshire and Cantyre." 



In the following list localities will be found corresponding 

 with the Watsonian vice-counties partly coming within the area, 

 thereby serving two purposes, as these, with all their faults, are 

 likely to be the only divisions in common use by topographical 

 workers for some time yet, besides which they are the divisions 

 used by Mr. Macvicar in the topographical work on the species 

 on which he is presently engaged.
