A DETAILED LIST OF THE EPPING FOREST
SPECIES.1
THE following list of the Entomostraca found in Epping
Forest contains references to the principal synonyms
under which some of the forms have been previously alluded
to by authors in this country, and also references to the.
British publications in which figures and descriptions of the
species recorded may be found. A number of miscellaneous
notes in connection with the individual species have likewise
been added, but nothing has been said about their comparative
abundance or seasonal distribution, as all the available data on
these subjects have already been given. With regard to the
rarer species, the stations from which they have been taken
have also been mentioned, if these are not already fully apparent
from the first Table in Part II.
PHYLLOPODA.
[Chirocephalus diaphanus, Prevost. According to
Baird (2),2 p. 54, this species was found near Epping by
Mr. Doubleday. It does not appear to have been since recorded,
and can scarcely be included in the list of Epping Forest
Entomostraca', but I have thought it advisable to call attention
to the fact that it has been found in the district, although so
long ago.]
CLADOCERA.
Family— SIDIDAE .
Sida crystallina, 0. F. Muller.—Baird (2), Bolton (6).
This beautiful species has only been taken in the "Shoulder of
Mutton Pond" and the adjoining pool in Wanstead Park.
