VIII. Note on the OcG^orrence of certain Claclocera in the 

 Edinburgh District. By Miss Sprague. Communicated 

 by T. B. Sprague, Esq, LL.D. 



(Read 22nd December 1902.) 



Mr T. Scott's paper on the Claclocera of the district 

 round Edinburgh, in the Proceedings of the Royal Physical 

 Society for 1894, contains a list of twelve Scottish species 

 of Cladocera which had not up to that time been obtained 

 in the district ; and the remark is added that it is almost 

 certain that some at least of these will be discovered when 

 the area is more thoroughly examined. 



Having lately made a lengthy investigation into the 

 Entomostraca of the district, I have found three of these 

 species : — 



Macrothrix laticornis, Jurine. One specimen was found 

 in a mixed gathering taken from the three lochs 

 in the King's Park — St Margaret's, Dunsappie, and 

 Duddingston — on 16th June 1900. 

 Accmtholeberis curvirostris, Mtiller. A few young specimens 

 were taken in Marfield Loch on 9th April 1901, and 

 a good many full-grown ones on 21st September 

 1901. 

 Chydoriis glohosics, Baird. Several specimens were got in 

 an abandoned quarry in Dalmeny grounds, close to 

 the river Almond, on 6th September 1901.
