Abstract
DEWPONDS have attracted much attention on account of the beliefs that they remain full and even show a rise in water level during periods of drought, dew being the responsible agent, and that some of them date back to prehistoric times. Pugsley (1939) has shown the fallacy of both these beliefs. A good deal of time has been devoted to investigating how dewponds obtain their water, but, except for some observations on the snail fauna (Hurst, 1920; Reid, 1892, etc.), little work appears to have been done on their biology, although they are particularly suitable for ecological work, being uniform in general features and many in number, so that any ecological conclusions can be based on a large number of collections.
