It will be observed from the various Tables, and also from what has 

 been already stated concerning the distribution of these crustaceans in 

 the Firth of Forth district, that, generally speaking, they are much more 

 numerous in the winter and spring months than in summer ; and not 

 only i§ it the case that a greater variety of species appear to be present 

 in the estuary during those colder months, but it is evident that some of 

 them at least are also individually much more numerous. The recorded 

 results of the Garland researches, even during that part of the year 

 which seems to be most favourable to the presence of these organisms,
