any Medusae. From Karad I explored the lower Koyna but was 

 not able to get Limnocnida at any place, though I was told that 

 they occur in a number of pools in the river which I was not 

 able to visit. The best time for observations on Limnocnida 

 appears to be the beginning of April. Later in the month, the 

 numerous storms which occur and the rain which they bring fre- 

 quently interrupt the work. 



Our knowledge of the distribution of Limnocnida has been in- 

 creased as the result of this year's work. I have been able to 

 confirm its occurrence in the Krishna at Dhom. While at Karad, 

 I obtained information about the occurrence of Medusae in the 

 Varna and Panchganga, both tributaries of the Krishna which 

 have their sources in the Western Ghats, Want of time prevented 

 my visiting these localities, but should an opportunity present 

 itself I will do so next year. 



Before concluding I have to express my best thanks to Dr. 

 Annandale who has taken very great interest in this work. His 

 suggestions have been very valuable and but for his generous help 

 the work would not perhaps have been done at all.
