Among the insects, dipterous larve formed the greater por- 
tion. “Two specimens had eaten a small quantity of 
hydrophilid larvee, one an Agrion larva, and two other larvee 
of Ephemeride. The Entomostraca recognized belonged to 
Alona and Cyclops. The vegetable food consisted of dis- 
tillery slops, eaten by one of the specimens, with a little 
Wolffia, Chara, filamentous alge, and some miscellaneous mat- 
ter.” (Forbes, 1888, a, p. 448.) 
A specimen of the species, (No. 327) from Oneida Lake, 
was purchased in the Syracuse market, November 17, 1915.
