A revised check-list of British Pleistocene, Holocene and Recent freshwater ostracods is given, and notes provided on the taxonomy and occurrence of some rare and newly-reported species. <i>Stenocypria fischeri</i> (Lilljeborg. 1883) and the hypogean species <i>Pseudocandona</i> cf. <i>eremita</i> (Vedjvosky, 1882) and <i>Pseudocandona breuili</i> (Paris, 1920) arc reported from Britain for the first time.
