COPEPODS GATHERED BY ALBATROSS—WILSON 227 
Station 5185. [A single female from this Philippine station had 
been identified by Dr. Wilson as Drepanopsis frigidus, a species estab- 
lished by Wolfenden upon specimens captured in the Antarctic Ocean 
and the Tropical Atlantic. Though not appearing in any of the 
plankton lists, it was reported from the Antarctic by Farran in the 
Terra Nova Expedition. In his manuscript discussion of this species 
Dr. Wilson remarked that Sars, in his Monaco report, had described 
and figured a unique female copepod from the Bay of Biscay under 
the name Farrania oblonga, new genus and species, which was a little 
larger than the dimensions given by Wolfenden but otherwise cor- 
responded in every essential characteristic and that hence the two are 
probably synonymous. Neither Wolfenden nor Wilson was aware 
that Drepanopsis had been preoccupied by Warren (1896, p. 144), who 
gave this name to a genus of Lepidoptera in 1896. Dr. Wilson fig- 
ured the fifth legs of the Albatross specimen, remarking that they 
“are identical with those shown by Wolfenden and Sars. The species 
is evidently a rare one and the male still remains unknown. The 
present specimen extends the distribution of the species into the Pa- 
cific Ocean.”—W. L. 8. The fact that Farrania oblonga and Drep- 
anopsis frigidus were identical species had already been noticed by 
Sewell (1929, p. 96). Sewell was also unaware that the name Drep- 
anopsis had been preoccupied.—M. S. W.] 
Genus FARRANULA (Blake MS.) Wilson, 1932 
Farran (1911, p. 283) created a new genus Corycella for the recep- 
tion of several minute species of Corycaeus. But the name Corycella 
had been used for a genus of Protozoa by Leger in 1898. Dr. C. H. 
Blake substituted for it the name Farranula in some manuscript notes 
on the copepods and suggested its adoption. The new name was pub- 
lished in 1932 in U. S. Nat. Mus. Bull. 158, p. 594 (footnote) and 
is here adopted for the genus.
