NOTES ON THE FAUNA OF THE COUNTEY OF 

 THE CHESS AND GADE.

Entomostraca. 



These notes on the Entomostraca relate to work done at two 

 distinct periods, one from the year 1898 to 1902, and the other 

 from the year 1911 to the present time. The original notes for 

 the earlier period have been lost, but I remember some of them 

 sufficiently well to justify making use of a few which happened 

 to relate to the Entomostraca of a few localities of the Gade 

 district, for by far the greatest parts of the notes referred to 

 specimens taken from the country extending from Kensworth 

 and Dunstable on the east to Wendover and Aylesbury on the 

 west. It will be evident, therefore, that the notes for the earlier 

 period will be few and fragmentary compared with those for the 

 later period. 



Becords of Entomostraca for parts of the country of the 

 Chess and Gade have been made by other workers. These 

 records, so far as I have been able to obtain them, refer chiefly 

 to Watford and Berkhamsted in West Herts. For localities in 

 the Buckinghamshire part of the Chess district I have not 

 succeeded in finding any records. The ' Journal of the Quekett 

 Microscopical Club ' does not appear to give any, and the account 

 of the Entomostraca given in the ' Victoria History of the 

 County of Buckingham ' refers mainly to Burnham Beeches and 

 Stoke Park. 



Fifteen species were obtained from the Watford district by 

 Mr. John Hopkinson about the year 1878, and are recorded on 

 p. 187 of vol. i. of the ' Victoria History of the County of Hert- 

 ford,' published in 1902. Again, in a paper entitled " The 

 Crustacea of West Herts," printed in the ' Transactions of the
