Extract

Our first investigation of Scottish plankton in 1901–2, although only tentative and somewhat meagre, was sufficient to show that, as regards the phytoplankton, the lochs of the west and north-west of Scotland were probably richer than any lakes previously examined. Owing to the extraordinary richness of the few collections then examined, it was considered eminently desirable that the investigation should be further extended. This we have been enabled to do by means of a third successive grant from the Royal Society, and the present paper is one of the results of a visit to the north-west of Scotland in July, August, and September, 1903.
