G. Tusseola, Zel. Prince Charles Foreland and Red Bay. ' 



C. incrassata, Murray (7). Prince Charles Foreland, 

 abundant. This is the most interesting Bdelloid found. It 

 has hitherto only been known as a native of Scotland, and 

 there it appears to be rare, though widely distributed. I 

 have taken it in three localities — Fort Augustus, Inverness- 

 shire ; the island of Rousay, Orkney ; and the mainland of 

 Shetland. Mr Wm. Evans has also collected it in several 

 localities in Scotland. 



Rotifer vulgariSy Schrank. Prince Charles Foreland, 3 

 examples, living. These were enclosed in lax tubes of 

 floccose matter, such as are commonly found with B. macro- 

 ceras. 



Adineta vaga (Davis). Prince Charles Foreland. 



In addition to these Bdelloids, there was one pellet- 

 making species of Callidina, very common in Scotland, but 

 not yet named. 



DigUna ferox, Western (9). Prince Charles Foreland, one 

 example. 



Monostyla hidla, Gosse. Prince Charles Foreland, alive. 



M, lunaris, Ehr. Prince Charles Foreland. 



M. cornuta, Ehr. Prince Charles Foreland. 



Distyla Jlexilis, Gosse. Prince Charles Foreland. 



Notliolca longispina, Kell. Prince Charles Foreland. 



In the Table at the end of this paper the list of Rotifers 

 enumerated by Mr Bryce are compared with those collected 

 by Dr Bruce in Spitsbergen, by setting them in parallel 

 columns. 



Franz Josef Land. 



All the moss from Franz Josef Land was preserved in 

 spirit, with the exception of one small tuft found on a walrus 

 skull. In the circumstances there was little likelihood of 

 finding many Bdelloids, as only those species can be recog- 

 nised when dead which have conspicuous processes of some 

 sort. Only 8 species of Rotifers were found, of which 

 only 2 were Bdelloids, and 3 could not be named.
