This moderately common species was obtained in Raith. 
Lake, Camilla Loch, and Lochgelly Loch, Fifeshire; and in 
Loch Leven, Kinross-shire. I have it also from Loch Tay, 
Loch Mullach Corrie, Loch Morar, small lochs in the island 
of Mull, etc.

Alonella nana has been obtained in two localities within 
the district around Edinburgh, viz., Raith Lake, Kirkealdy ; 
and Loch Leven. I have Alonella nana also from Loch 
Morar. This is a very small species, being only about ‘25 
mm. (y3o Of an inch); it is therefore easily overlooked. 
‘Seen under a moderately high power of the microscope, the 
sculpture of the skull of this species is very pretty; it has a 
distinct and more or less regular fluted appearance, the strie 
are obliquely transverse, extending downwards from the 
front in more or less regular curved lines.
