Entomostraca obtained were extremely interesting, and the 

 prevalence or otherwise of the different species was demon- 

 strated by means of a blackboard chart. 



Several members expressed their appreciation of the work 

 accomplished, and in reply to questions the authors amplified 

 some of the statements made. 



The president referred to the paper as an excellent record of 

 interesting work, whicli he hoped would act as an incentive 

 to meml)ers in other lines of research. 



A large number of the species referred to were on exhibition 

 under microscopes.
