FURTHER NOTES ON INDIAN FRESH- 

 WATER ENTOMOSTRACA. 



By Robert Gurney. 



In a short paper published last year in the Journal of the Asiatic 

 Society of Bengal, I gave an account of certain Entomostraca n the 

 collection of the Indian Museum. Dr. Annandale has been good 

 enough to send me further collections of freshwater Entomostraca, 

 and it was my intention to continue to work at the Indian species 

 from material supplied by him. Unfortunately pressure of work 

 and other engagements prevents me from fulfilling my part of the 

 task, so that I think it advisable to communicate now the results 

 so far achieved. 



The material with which the following notes are concerned 

 consists of twelve bottles containing collections made in Lower 

 Bengal and Chota Nagpur. As my work may subsequently be 

 incorporated in the extended study on the Bengal tanks which, I 

 understand, Dr. Annandale has in hand, I think it best to give 

 the full list of the contents of each sample, together with those of 

 certain others received before, and already mentioned in my pre- 

 vious paper.
