XXVIII. Notes on a Small Collection of Fresh- Water Ostracoda 

 fro7n the Edijihurgh District. By TiiOMAS ScOTT, F.L.S., 

 Naturalist to tlie Fishery Board for Scotland. 



(Read 22d January 1890.) 



This collection of Ostracoda comprises type-slides of 

 species from nine different localities, as follow : — • 



1. Duddingston Loch, 3 slides containing 22 species. 



2. Pond near Corstorphine Hill (north side), 1 slide con- 



taining 5 species. 



3. Kinghorn Loch, Fifeshire, 1 slide containing 10 species. 



4. Loch Fitty, Fifeshire, 2 slides containing 18 species. 



5. Loch Glow, partly in Fifeshire and partly in Kinross- 



shire, 1 slide containing 9 species. 



6. Black Loch (near Loch Glow), Kinross-shire, 2 slides 



containing 16 species. 



7. Lnrg Loch (near Loch Glow), Kinross-shire, 1 slide 



containing 7 species. 



8. Dow Loch (near Loch Glow), Kinross-shire, 1 slide 



containing 9 species. 



9. Pools at Lnffness Links near Aberlady, 2 slides con- 



taining 13 species. 



As might be expected, a number of the species from tlie 

 various localities named are more or less common to all of 

 them, as well as being generally distributed throughout these 

 islands, such as for example Cypria ophthalmicaj Cypria 

 Serena, Erpetocypris reptans, Cypridop)sis vidua, Candona 

 Candida, and some others. It is not necessary, therefore, that 

 these should be referred to in the following notes, more 

 especially as I am preparing lists, intended to be more or 

 less inclusive, of this and other groups of the Entomostraca 

 observed in the district around F]dinburgh to be submitted 

 to the Poyal Physical Society later on ; consequently I will 

 ac present confine my remarks to those which are as yet 

 considered rare, or have not hitherto been recorded from any 

 locality near Edinburgh.
