Extract

Of 198 specimens of Gammarus zaddachi collected in the Estuaries of the Rivers Earn and Tay four individuals had abnormal eyes. This is the first record of abnormal eyes in wild specimens of a Gammarus species, although Laboratory strains of G. chevreuxi have developed them.

The investigation described in this paper was carried out as part of the programme of the Water Pollution Research Board of the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research, and is published by permission of the Department. My thanks are due to Dr. E. J. Allen and to Mrs. E. W. Sexton for their assistance in preparing the paper.
