The number of species found east of South Africa amounts 

 thus to 92. The geographical distribution will be found as 

 follows : — 



In the western Pacific, east of South 



America, have been found ... 80 per cent. 



In the Indian Ocean ... ... 64 „ ,, 



In the temperate Atlantic ... ••• 55 >; » 



\n the Mediterranean ... ... 50 ,, „ 



In the tropical Atlantic ... ... 19 ,, ,, 



North of the Faroe Channel ... 8 „ „ 



There is thus, as concerns the copepod-fauna, a very con- 

 siderable resemblance between the region west of South America 

 and the Agulhas Current. 



List of Species of Copepoda Found Round South 

 Africa and their Geographical Distribution. 



In the following I have not indicated the literature, because 

 the reader will find in most cases sufhcient references in the 

 works of Giesbrecht : " Copepoda, Gymnoplea " in " Das 

 Thierreich," Berlin, 1898, and " Systematik und Faunistik der 

 pelagischen Copepoden des Golfes von Neapel," Berlin, 1892. — 

 In some few cases only references have been necessary.
