The crab kuown as the scale tailed apus was believed to have become ex tlnct In Great Britain fifty years ugo. I the last recorded speciuieus being tak en In the pouds on Ilampstead heath But now It has turned up again in some numbers In two ponds on Preston Merse. uear Southwlck, in Kirkcudbrightshire.
