In the plankton tables of the ,,C o n s c i 1 j) c r iii a n c n t etc." there is no iulormation 

 about the sex of the specimens captured and consequently there is not in C. Apstein's oithoT' 

 any information as to whether females of this species are to be foimd in the plankton oi wIicIIht 

 his statements, like those of Sars, LlLLJEBORG and AURIVILLIUS mentioned above, are to be 

 referred to finds of males only. C. Apstkix himself had evidently no opportunity of investigating 

 the material on which the plankton tables in question were based. 



The collection of O s t r a c o d s in the Swedish State Museum comprises 

 partly very abmidant material of Philomedes (Ph.) globosa (about a hundred samples amounting 

 to many thousand specimens; most of these specimens had been captured at the bottom, but also 

 plankton samples occur), partly representatives of four other species of this genus, viz. the Scandi- 

 navian Ph. (Ph.) LiUjebnrgi and the Antarctic Ph. (Ph.) rotunda, Ph. (Ph.) Eitgeniae and /'//. 

 ( Sderoconcha) Appellofi. This material has been subjected to a very careful investigation by inc. 

 Ph '7ph")°'"'i'b^"' ^^y investigations of Philomedes (Ph.) globosa gave the following results: 



The samples from Xo bcgiii with some bottom samples of this species from different parts of the year were 



examined. The results of these investigations are shown in the following table:
