This is distinguished from other British Daphnids by the head being 
produced upward to a sharp point.

This is a small species. The anterior antennae are comparatively long and 
curved. It occurs sometimes in considerable abundance.

1867. Bosmina longispina, Nor. and Brady, loc. cit., p. 358, pi. xxii. figs. 1, 2. 
This a much larger species than the last, being about double the size. 
The anterior antennae are not so curved aud proportionally stouter ; the 
spines of the postero-ventral angle are longer and stouter ; the outer or 
convex margin is frequently furnished with two indistinct notches ; the 
surface of the carapace is faintly striate longitudinally and sometimes 
reticulate. This appears to be the form described by Baird. The two 
species come very near each other, and may be only forms of one. T 
found both forms in Loch Balnagowan, Lismore Island. 
Lyncodaphnia.

(1862). 
1867. Hyocryptus sordidus, Nor. and Brady, loc. cit., p. 368. 
Hyocryptus is apparently not a swimmer. I did not observe any of those 
captured making even an attempt to swim though kept alive for several 
days; but if clumsy in their movements, which consisted of a kind of half- 
crawling, half-tumbling process, they were by no means inactive. Adult 
specimens were usually more or less coated with mud.
