whether Sars was right or wrong in separating the species, but he 

 finished without coming to any conclusion. The reasons given by 

 Sars would seem fully as valid as those for many of the regularly 

 accepted species.

 Candacia armata G. O. Saes, Crustacea of Norway, vol. 4, p. 135, pi. 91, 1902, 



Occurrence. — Found at Station S in one of the two largest hauls 

 made in the bay, with a bottom net on March 29 in water 23 meters 

 deep. Fairly common in the outside ocean. 



Remarks. — This copepod was captured both at the surface and in 

 the bottom net in the outside ocean. It is rather remarkable that it 

 should have been captured but once within the bay and then so far 

 above the center. It would seem as if it might be found some time at 

 other places, especially in the outer bay. 



CENTROPAGES BRADYI Wheeler

 1900.— Shabpe, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., vol. 38, p. 406, 1911. 



Occurrence. — A few specimens were obtained in the surface net 

 over a depth of 118 and 67 fathoms, and in the bottom net towed at 

 a depth of 40 fathoms during the trip to the 100-fathom line. It was 

 not found anywhere within the limits of the bay. 



Remarks. — The species was established by Wheeler upon numerous 

 specimens of both sexes, which he considered identical with the ones 

 described by Brady under the name Centropages violaceus (Claus).* 

 This identification appears indisputable, and the range of the species 

 on our American shores is here extended southward to Chesapeake 

 Bay.

 Centropages hwmatus G. O. Sars, Crustacea of Norway, vol. 4, p. 76, pi. 52, 1902. 



Occurrence. — Universally distributed throughout the bay and 

 found at every station except U and Z. Appearing most abundant 

 during winter in the outer bay and during spring in the inner bay. 

 Taken indiscriminately in surface, bottom, and vertical nets, and 

 present also in the outside ocean. 



Remarks. — This species was given by Fish as one of the three typi- 

 cal winter forms at Woods Hole, and he added that the development
