Abstract
THE swarming of certain species of Collembola has been previously noted in Europe by several authors, notably Nicolet,1 Low,2 Linnaniemi,3 Latzel,4 and Handschin,5 and more recently J. M. Brown,6 in a paper in the Naturalist for 1921, recorded several instances of this occurring in the north of England. The species in which he observed this phenomenon were Podura aquatica L., Hypogastura viatica (Tullb.), Hypogastura purpurescens (Lubb.), Anurida maritima Lab., Isotomurus palustris (Mull.), Sminthurides malmgreni var. elegantula Reut., Sminthurinus aureus var. ochropus Reut. All except the Sminthurinus and Hypogastura purpurescens, which were found on an old stone wall, are recorded as occurring on water.
