X ANTHOCAL AN US (GIESBREUHT). 



There are only two examples of this genus in the 'Discovery' collection. Since 

 the publication of Giesbrecht and Schmeil's " Copepoda " (in " Tierrcii-h ") the genus has 

 received many additional species. To the originally described species, viz., X. ag'dix 

 and AT. minor (Giesbrecht), are now added X. /</v.///.s (Sars), AT. /in>j>iiKjn/i. (Sars), 

 A", niiitii-iix (Sars), AT crixtatus (Wolfenden), X. xnli,-rixiiitux (Wolfenden), X. tfim/ili-.r 

 (Wolfenden), AT. ninijinix (Wolfenden), AT: calaminus (Wolfenden), X. ntl<inti<-iix 

 (Wolfenden), A", ijin-ni (Farran), X. ji/i/<//ii* (Farran), and A", (ilitnxiix (Farran) ; and, 

 as they are described in scattered publications, it may lie well to recapitulate the 

 characters here.
