192 SPOLIA ZEYLANICA. 



Dutch Moderagam, Karativu, aud Alanturai paars, all of 

 which localities proved to be exceedmgly rich as regards the 

 Copepod fauna. 



The positions of the various localities in which collections 

 were made are shown on the chart, but in the case of many 

 of the paars they are approximate only. 



Family, CALANID^. 



Genus Calanus, Leach. 



Calantjs minor (Claus.).

 This species is comparatively rare on the pearl banks, and 

 is absent altogether in the majority of tow-nettings. Most 

 of the specimens obtained were females. Wolfenden (1905) 

 obtained a female calanid, of which he gives neither a full 

 descrijition nor any figures, from the Maldive and Laccadive 

 Archipelagoes : he believed this form to be the hitherto- 

 unknown female of Undinula (Calanus) caroli, Giesbrecht. 

 I obtained what appeared to be similar examples from the 

 Burma coast, but a subsequent examination showed that they 

 \vere in reality examples of Calanus minor, and, as I have 

 pointed out below (p. 199), there seems to be some reason 

 for believing that Undinula caroli is merely a variety of 

 Undinula darwini, Giesbrecht ((J). 



* In the majority of cases the hst of references only includes those 

 that refer to the occurrence of the species in Indian waters.
