Young Ostracoda unidentified are recorded in Appendix II. 



Copepoda 



The Copepoda, here as elsewhere, formed perhaps the most important element of the 



zooplankton. They were numerous both in species and individuals. We were very 



fortunate in having the services of the late Mr Andrew Scott, who identified them for us. 



He found 100 species in our collections: eighty-eight in the Gymnoplea and twelve in 



the Podoplea. Out of such a number, as is usually found to be the case, only a few may 



be regarded as really abundant, the following species being the more important in our 



survey : 



Calanus simillimns, Giesbr. Pareuchaeta antarctica, Giesbr. 



C. propinquus, Brady. Scolecithricella minor (Brady). 



C. acutus, Giesbr. Pleuromamma robusta (F. Dahl). 



Rhincalanus gigas, Brady. Metridia gerlachei, Giesbr. 



Clausocalanus laticeps, Farran. M. lucens, Boeck. 



Ctenocalanus vanus, Giesbr. Oithona frigida, Giesbr. 

 Drepanopus pectinatus, Brady. 



Mr Scott found in the collection a new species of the genus Candacia. Notes of its 



occurrence are given under the genus, but unfortunately his untimely death intervened 



before he had drawn up a detailed description of the species for publication. 



He records the following twenty-five species or genera from the Antarctic Zone for 



the first time : 



Calanus minor, Claus. Lucicutia magna, Wolf. 



Rhincalanus nasutus, Giesbr. Disseta palumboi, Giesbr. 



Clausocalanus furcatus (Brady). Haloptilus fans, Farran. 



Drepanopus pectinatus, Brady. Augaptilus megalurus, Giesbr. 



Spinocalanus horridus, Wolf. Centraugaptilus rattrayi, T. Scott. 



Pseudochirella pustu/ifera, G. O. Sars. Pac/iypti/us sp. 



Pareuchaeta scotti, Farran. Phyllopus bidentatus, Brady. 



Onchocalanus cristatus, Wolf. P. thelgae, Farran. 



Cornucalanus magnus, Wolf. Bathypontia sp. 



Scolecithrix emarginata, Farran. Mormonilla phasma, Giesbr. 



Scolecithricella minor (Brady). Conaea rapax, Giesbr. 



Pleuromamma xiphias, Giesbr. Lubbockia tglacialis , Sars. 



Metridia brevicauda, Giesbr.
