Some remarks on the fauna of Ento- 

 mostraca of Central Africa. 



G. VERESTCHAGIN. 



During his journey in Central Africa, Professor V. Dogiel 

 has taken several (10) samples of plancton from the lake 

 Victoria Nyanza, and some other places. He was so kind as 

 to put this material at my disposal for the purpose of inve- 

 stigating the Entomostraca to be found there. 



In the present paper I am giving the description of Cla- 

 docera which were found in these samples; the material was 

 taken from the following localities. 



Sample 1. A small water pit covered with vegetation in the 

 neighbourhood of Entebbe (22. V. 1914). 

 „. 2. Lake Chala. The lake occupies about 2 sq. miles, 

 and presents the crater of an extinct vulcano. 

 The sample was taken in the littoral zone (3. 

 VIII. 1914). 



3. Lake Naivasha. The lake occupies about 100 sq. 

 miles; its banks are covered with vegetation (papy- 

 rus). The sample was taken in the littoral zone 

 (July, 1914). 



4. Lake Nakuru. Small (ab. 25 sq. m.) and shallow 

 lake with banks covered with vegetation; the wa- 

 ter is bracldsh. The sample was taken in the litto- 

 ral zone (2. VII. 1914). 



Sample 5. Lake Victoria Nyanza. 



6. Lake Victoria Nyanza. The sample was taken on 

 the surface of the water opposite the town Entebbe 

 (30. V. 1914). 

 ,,7,8,9. Lake Victoria Nyanza. The sample was taken in 

 the vicinity of Entebbe in crossing a narrow bay 

 of the lake (29. V.1914).
