motive organs. The posterior, or second, maxillae are obso- 

 lete. In Evadne, Polyphemus, Sida, and other genera, sucker- 

 like organs of adhesion are situated on the anterior region 

 of the carapace. The eggs are developed in the cavity of the 

 carapace, and the embryos pass directly into the form of the 

 parent, except in Xeptodora, where they are, at first, JVauplitts- 

 like. 



Limnetis and Estheria present a Daphnia-Wke carapace, 

 though more completely bivalve, combined with the numer- 

 ous segments of the body and the foliaceous appendages of 

 the typical Phyllopods (Fig. 65). 



Nebalia has a large carapace, provided with a movable 

 rostrum, like that of Sqidlla, and arising entirely from the 

 head, which is remarkable for its very slight sternal flexure. 

 In this genus the eyes are large and pedunculated ; there 

 are well-developed antennules, antenna?, mandibles, and two 

 pairs of maxillae, the anterior of which ends in a long palp. 



Branchipus, finally, develops no carapace either from
