Introductoey. 



This paper was originally intended to convey only tlie new results I had obtained on 

 certain points in the anatomy of Cyclops ; but at the suggestion of my friend Prof. E. 

 Eay Lankester I undertook a full anatomical description. This occupies the greater 

 part of the following pages ; and histological details have throughout been sub- 

 ordinated to morphological observations. I have also subjoined a discussion on the 

 position of the Copepoda in the Crustacean phylum. 



Unfortunately my work has been carried on at a distance from great libraries, and 

 many works I should have wished to consult, especially those of Dana, Dohrn, Packard, 

 and Van Beneden, have been inaccessible to me. The chief memoirs referred to on 

 the subject will be found in the subjoined footnote* ; and among them those of Claus
