THE TARDIGRADA OF THE SCOTTISH LOCHS. 697 
EXPLANATION OF PLATES. 
The figures of the complete animals are all drawn to the same scale, to enable comparisons to be made ; 
the details are drawn larger, but to no uniform scale. Where the granulation of the plates is minute it is 
omitted from the drawings, as it could only be indicated in an exaggerated form. The coarser granulation 
or reticulation of some species is shown.
