There are two well-marked varieties of this species: one is found 

 commonly in the clear lakes; the other, which I have only once 

 seen, was found in a very shallow weedy marsh. The difference in 

 size is quite remarkable. Our ordinary form measures less than 1 

 mm. The larger form, including the stylets, is 1.6 mm. The 

 ordinary variety, although highly colored, is yet transparent, whil^ 

 the large variety is deep red and quite opaque. The relationship 

 between the two forms is quite like that maintaining between 

 Diaptomus stagnalis and D. sanguineus. Some slight structural 

 differences are observable between the two varieties, as in the form 

 of the antennules, yet quite insignificant when compared w-ith the 

 striking difference in size and coloration. Number two may be 

 called
