III. Notes on some Parasitic Copepoda ; with a Description of a new Species of 

 Chondracanthus. By May E. Bainbridge, B.Sc, F.L.S. 



(Plates 8-11.) 



Read 5th November, 1908. 



ALL the species described in this paper, with one exception, were collected and sent to 

 me by Miss Lebour, M.Sc. Durham, from fish brought in by the fishing-boats of North 

 Shields, Northumberland. I am very much indebted to her for her kindness in sending 

 them to me. Anchorella stellata, Kr., was found on a Hake (Merluccius vulgaris, Cuv.) 

 bought at Sheringham, Norfolk. My work has been carried out in the Zoological 

 Department of the Imperial College of Science and Technology (Royal College of 

 Science), South Kensington. The classification is taken from Giesbrecht, but the 

 position of some of the wholly parasitic families in his system seems still a matter 

 of some doubt (cf. Dr. Caiman*). Mr. Geoffrey Smith f, who has kindly given me 

 permission to refer to his work which is still in the press, places these parasitic families 

 (Caligidne, Lernseidae, Lemajopodidse, Chondracanthidge, ChoniostomatidaB) in the Tribe 

 Isokerandria, Giesbrecht, of the Suborder Podoplea, Giesbrecht. He has done this 

 with Giesbrecht's consent and approval, and I have therefore adopted his system in the 

 following paper. With regard to the nomenclature of the appendages I have followed 

 Giesbrecht $ and Hansen §, who have independently arrived at the same conclusions.
