to the marine than the fresh-water forms, which, though not 
entered in the regular lists, may be mentioned to show how 
the so-called marine and fresh-water species sometimes 
mingle together. The following are the species referred to:— 
Cythere lutea, Miller, Cythere pellucida, Baird, Cythere villosa 
(G. O. Sars), Cythere albomacefa, Baird, and Cytherura gibba, 
Miiller. These were not dead shell, but were living in the 
pools along with the others. There were also some Foramini- 
fera, as Miliolina fusca, Lituola canariensis, etc., associated 
with these Ostracoda. 
RaitH Lake, near Kirkcaldy, is an artificial lake, formed 
during last century. It is situated within the pleasure- 
grounds of the Raith estate, the property of Mr Munro- 
Ferguson, M.P., and is private. Permission to visit the loch 
may be obtained by applying to Mr Prentiss, the factor on 
the estate. This little lake harbours an abundant Crustacean 
fauna, especially Ostracoda and Cladocera. The loch is said 
to be 25 feet deep in some places, and to cover not less than 
21 acres, The following are the species of Ostracoda obtained 
in Raith Lake in August 1890 :— 
Cypria ophthalmica (Jurine). Candona candida (O. F. Miller). 
Cypria serena (Koch). Candona lactea, Baird. 
Erpetocypris reptans (Baird). Candona rostrata, Brady and Norman. 
Cypridopsis vidua (O. F. Miiller). Candona fabeeformis (Fischer). - 
Cypridopsis villosa (Jurine). Llyocypris gibba (Ramdohr), 
Potamocypris fulva, Brady. Limnicythere inopinata (Baird). 
Notodromas monacha (O. F. Miiller). 
LinDoRES Locu, near Newbureh, Fifeshire. Whether this - 
little loch, which is situated in a district profoundly interesting 
to the student of old-world history, be to the zoologist or 
botanist a “happy hunting-ground ” or not, it is certainly well 
known to, and much frequented, during the proper season, 
by the fraternity of the “roaring game.” Often on the ice- 
bound surface of this loch the fate—not of kingdoms certainly 
but what is nearly of equal importance to those engaged in 
the contest—of the “clubs” of Fifeshire and of Perthshire, 
and sometimes of other shires as well, is decided for the year. 
It is easy for the onlooker to see by the gestures and ejacula- 
tions of the combatants that momentous issues are at stake. 
It is no. wonder, then, that the humble seeker after Ostracods
