of some rock-pools, and by netting amongst the weeds of pools 

 situated above ordinary high water mark, but still subject to 

 occasional tidal influx. The Copepoda found in these pools are 

 here described, and it may also be noted that in some of the 

 peaty pools and ditches of the neighbourhood occurred an inter- 

 esting Ostracod, Cyclocypris globosa, and in White Loch a 

 species still more interesting and more capricious in its distri- 

 bution, Darivinula Stevensoni. 



As regards the Botany of the district I can say very little. 

 My last two visits were made about Midsummer, and at that 

 time the sea banks were gorgeous with masses of Thrift and Ked 

 Cranesbill {^Geranium sanguineum), the marshy flats with the 

 golden flowers of the Yellow-flag, and the fells with thickets of 

 Rosa spinosissima and numerous Orchids, the most conspicuous 

 of which was the sweet-scented species, Gymnadenia conopsea. 

 These, of course, are flowers which cannot be overlooked and 

 are an ever-present delight to the eye and mind : less alluring 

 species which need to be hunted for were for the most part 

 passed unnoticed, and such as I did gather were of no particular 

 interest. 



The Ostracoda and Copepoda procured by washing the mud 

 from intertidal rocks and pools are as follows : — 



OSTRACODA. 



Cy there confusa, Brady and Norman. 



,, gihlosa, Brady and Robertson. 

 Loxoconcha pusilla, Brady and Eobertson. 

 Cytherura gihha (Miiller). 



,, similis, G. 0. Sars. 



COPEPODA. 



Eurytemora affinis, Poppe. 

 Cyclopina gracilis, Glaus. 

 Ectinosoma, sp. 

 Tachidius littoralis, Poppe. 



,, brevicornis (Miiller). 

 W&shvoodia nobilis, Baird.
