A HISTORY OF STAFFORDSHIRE 



Similarly, with regard to the Copepoda or oar-footed Entomostraca, the notice that 

 Cyclops quadricornis, Mtlller, of the family Cyclopidae, occurs in stagnant water, is not very 

 instructive. It is uncertain which of several species may be intended by the name quadricornis, 

 and the use of it without any explanatory details implies a rather superficial acquaintance with 

 Copepoda in general. 



In 1895 Mr. D. J. Scourfield made a guarded suggestion that the little-known ento- 

 mostracan fauna of Wales might eventually show some essential differences from that of the 

 south-east of England, which has been investigated with much assiduity. 31 Should this prove 

 to be so it will be interesting to learn where the line of cleavage or fusion between the 

 discrepant faunas should be drawn, and whether the rarities or distinctive species of east and 

 west may chance to have a common gathering place in the waters of Staffordshire.
