1. Of the Au tan- tic Copepoda the following are new specie* and genera : 



ParaLtbtdocfra . hodgtoni Euchirellu magna 



ll<il,'j,tilus ocrllatua Faroflla antarcticn 



* * 



Stephos antarcticus Gaetamtx (infarction 



'ioeta tiyiili* Xanthoctikinus antarcticu* 



Calanus nmillimus (mentioned briefly by Giesbrecht, loc. cit.). 



2. The following are species newly described by Dr. Gicsbrecht (' Bcljjica ' report), 

 occurring also in the ' Discovery ' collection : 



Euchceta antarctica 



SttpMu longipes 



Metridia gerUichei (nearly related to M. Ixtecki and M. lucens). 



Oneta curvata 0. subtili*, Gieab. 



lihincalamu grandis /P. gigas, Brady. 



Harpacticus furcifer H.flexus, Brady. 



3. Of species which occur in the North Polar regions there are only the following 

 'Discovery' pecJM, which bear such slight modification as to be practically identical : 

 Microcalaniui ptisillus ( = Psewlocalanus pygnuetu) ; Oitlumu similis. 



4. The ' Discovery ' collection would therefore lead us to suppose that, so far as 

 copepod fauna is concerned, there is little resemblance between the characteristic fauna 

 of both Polar regions. In the ' Belgica ' collection, Oncea conifera and notopus ; and in 

 the ' Gauss ' collection, Oncea conifera, Gaidius tcnuispinu.1 and brevispinus, and 

 Amallvphora maijiia, that is, seven species of a total of 55-60 species occurring in the 

 South Polar seas, are all that are identical with the species described by Prof. San M 

 collected by Nansen's Norwegian North Polar Expedition. It would not, however, be 

 safe to take this list of Prof. Stirs' as the ultimate result of copepod research of the 

 North Polar seas, and other species may yet be found to be identical
