Much more generally distributed and constantly present are a few molluscs and crustaceans, such as are shown in Figure 20. There are a few adult insects and many insects in im- mature stages (Figs. 21,22 and 23). Some help toward the recognition of these may be had from the table on pages 40 and 41, which contains brief hints, also, of the situation they occupy in the water and the role they play in the food consumption. There are leeches, and fresh water sponges and bryozoans and a host of lesser forms of many^groups, mostly too smalljto CPVST^C£'4^S.
