436 NOTES. 



snakes. My foot was raised, and not more than two feet from the spot, 

 when I discovered the venomous brood just below me. 



Nate 58, page 148. The following list of marine creatures living in 

 fresh water is not complete. 



Coelenterata. 

 CordyLipliora lacuxtri-s (see text). 



Bryozoa. 



Nembrampora tengalensis (Stoliczka, Proc. Asiat. Soc. Betty. July 

 1878). 



Vlctorella panda (Kent, Quart. Journ. Micro. Soc. 1870). 



A Flmtra of a closely allied species in a fresh- water tank at Nagpoor, 

 on the shells of Paludina bcngalensis and on water plants (Ann. Mag. 

 Xat. Hist., ser. 3, vol. i. p. 168). 



Annelida. 



Nervi* and Nemcrtcs of various kinds were found by Tscherniawsky 

 in a lake in Mingrelia of which the waters are drinkable. Manayunltya, 

 a Cephalobranchiate discovered by Leidy in fresh water at Philadelphia. 



Arthropoda. 



The number living in fresh water is extraordinarily great ; I will 

 here mention only the most important, and refer the reader to the great 

 work of Ed. von Martens. 



Species of Salamtsin Lake Palasotoma, according to Tscherniawsky. 



Cypn salina and Cypridopns acnleata in quite fresh water, accord- 

 ing to Brady (Nat. Hist. Trans. Northumberland and Durham, vol. ii. 

 part i. p. 121). 



jtfnjnjrus, sp. div. ? Besides those in the Philippines (see text) 

 species occur in India ; and in various museums, as in Munich, I have 

 seen them with a fresh-water Palasmon, P. indicus. To my knowledge 

 they have not yet been described. 



A species of Pentlla, according to Peters, lives on a GoM-us in pure 

 fresh water in the Laguna de Bay at Manila. 



The marine forms which now are found at the bottom of the 

 Swedish and Norwegian lakes are of the highest interest : Mysis rclicta 

 (Loven) is still living as Mi/six oculata in the sea near Greenland ; 

 Pontoporcia affinis lives in the Baltic and in northern fresh-water lakes. 

 Doth species have lately been found by Alleyne, Nicholson, and Smith, 

 in the great North American Lakes Ontario, Superior, and Michigan (see 

 Sillimau's Journ. ser. 3, vol. v. 1873, p. 387 ; vol. ii. 1871, pp. 373, 448 j 

 vol. vii. 1874, p. 161. 



I may add to the list of fresh-water crabs given by Martens Vanina
