NOTE 



In the preparation of this paper I have been indebted to several friends for assist- 

 ance, which I desire here to acknowledge. Mr. D. Bryce examined the drawings of 

 the Bdelloid rotifers, and gave me the advantage of his opinion on the values of the 

 species. Mr. C. F. Kousselet did the same for the non-Bdelloid rotifers, and helped 

 me with the list of literature. Mr. D. J. Scourfield experimented on the dried 

 rotifers brought from the Antarctic, and demonstrated that some had survived the 

 many changes of climate which they had experienced. Mr. J. H. Prieetley subjected 

 some of the rotifers to a temperature of 78 C. for many hours, and showed that 

 some , were not killed by this, thus completing the simple series of experiments 

 commenced in the Antarctic. 



Mr. Rousselet was also good enough to remount the few specimens of the new 

 species of Antarctic rotifers, which had been mounted in a temporary way, thus 

 saving them from destruction.
