great abundance, both coleoptera and hemiptera, and tadpoles 
were also present. The pond was large but very shallow and filled 
with vegetation, and it was only by standing ankle-deep on the 
margin that one could get to use the scoop for collecting. 
Presently we found it better to pluck up handfuls of the plants 
and search for the shells amongst them. 
We collected all the plants which grew in the pond and 
submitted them to the Rev. E. A. Woodruffe-Peacock, who 
found them fully as interesting as we had found the shell. This 
well shows the interdependence of workers in different branches 
of natural history upon each other, for if the coleopterists had 
done a good turn to us, we were able to do a similar one to the 
botanists. 
Mr. Peacock reported to me that the plants were thirteen in 
number—as follows :
