SUMMARY A total of 2622 soil samples collected throughout the British Isles was examined for nematodes belonging to the family Criconematidae. Twenty‐eight species were found representing nine genera, twenty‐two of these species being reported for the first time. Only one species previously reported was not found. An analysis of the relationship between eleven of the most common species and biotic and abiotic factors showed vegetation to be of paramount importance.
