I have intentionally not included in this list the Harpacticidae, It 

 will be noted that several of these Copepods are new species, and I 

 may add that they will form the subject of description subsequently, 

 when the drawings are completed. 



There are several additions to the list given in Fowler's paper 

 (loc. cit.), notably Pleuromma rohustum, Hcterochceta clausii, H. zetesios, 

 Atigaptilus, Oncaia, Eucalanus clongatus and crassus, Tetragoniceps, 

 Scolecithrix, Rhincalanns nasutus, and yEgisthus. 



The limits of distribution of the following " warm-water species " 

 are extended by these observations : — 



Eiichirella ; Eucalanus attenuatus, E. crassits ;* Euchceta harlata ; 

 Heteroclueta clausii, H. spinifrons; Lcuckartia flavicornis ; Scolecithrix; 

 Onccca mediterranea and suhtilis; Pleuromma ahdominale ; Rhinccdanus 



• Eucalanus crassus, Plexiromma robusta, .tEgisthns, Augaptilus I found in Fowler's 

 collection, the two first also occurring in my own tow-netting?.
