Some Littoral Mites of Millport. 141 
Molqus littoralis. 
(1) Occurrence. (2) Food. 
Bdella longicornis. 
(1) Occurrence. (2) Tent making. 
The tent-making habits of a littoral species of Bdella have been observed 
independently by Mr T. J. Evans of Sheffield University, though, as far as 
the writer is aware, no reference to them has been published. 
There is much scope for further observation upon the life and habits of 
the littoral Acarina.
