50a. Asper and Ileuscher have quite recently shown, through the use of 

 a " pelagic " net, that the pelagic faunas of lakes are far more prolific in mi- 

 croscopic animal forms than has hitherto been supposed. A drop of water 

 from Lake Zurich was estimated to contain ten individuals of Anurasa foli- 

 acea, eight of Anuraea longispina, sixty of Ceratium hirundinella, and mill- 

 ions of Einobryon forms and Asterionellse, besides various heliozoans, roti- 

 fers, and crustaceans. Identical results were obtained under all the most 

 varied conditions of light (darkness) and water, in the open lake and along 

 the shallower shore-line (" Zoologischer Anzciger," June 19, 1886).

53. " Bull. Soc. Vaud.," xiii, xiv, 1874, 1876. Dr. Henri Blanc enumer- 

 ates the following twelve species of Rhizopoda as entering into the compo- 

 sition of the deep-water fauna of Lake Geneva (seventy to one hundred and 

 twenty metres) : Amoeba proteus, A. verrucosa, A. radiosa, Difflugia pyri- 

 formis, D. urceolata, D. globulosa, Ilyalosphenia cuneata, Arcella vulgaris, 

 Centropyxis aculeata, Pamphagus hyalinus, Actinophrys sol, and an unde- 

 termined large Difflugia. All or most of the above forms have been ob- 

 served by Leidy in the surface-waters of the United States, and it is re- 

 marked that the species indicated to be rare by Leidy are also rare in the 

 deep waters of the lake (" Bull. Soc. Vaud.," scr. 2, xx, p. 287).

55a. Probably the most striking and convincing evidence indicating con- 

 vergent modification is presented by the Australian fauna, where, among 

 the numerous implacental forms, we have such remarkable reproductions 

 of the distinctive types seen among the Placentalia, aithcugh based upon 

 an entirely different type of structure, and arising independently of the 

 other. t
