54 THE ROTIEERA. 



Genus SCHIZOCEKCA, Daday (207). 



GEN. CH. A genus of the Brachionidae, with a long foot ending in a fork of two 

 unequal branches, each terminated by a pair of unequal toes. 



SCHIZOCEECA DIVEESICOBNIS, Daday (207), (PI. XXXIV. fig. 10). 



SP. CH. Body long, wider in front, tapering behind ; lorica smooth, with four 

 anterior spines, the middle pair small, broad-based, the marginal pair long, sharp, 

 curved ; ventral margin excised in the middle ; tivo unequal posterior spines, the right 

 much the longer, sharper, and incurved ; the left shorter and broader. 



The lorica is a long oval ; it really lias only two anterior spines, one on either side, 

 at the junctions of the occipital and mental edges. The two so-called middle spines 

 are formed by the edges of the usual dorsal notch (for the dorsal antenna), and by those 

 of the shallow circular excavations in the lorica, on either side of the notch. The 

 posterior spines are even more unequal than those of B. militaris ; and the forked foot 

 with its two pairs of unequal toes reminds one of those of Philodina macrostyla (PI. 

 XXXII. fig. 6 6). 



Length, T |^ to T i 5 inch. Habitat. Neighbourhood of Budapest (Daday). 



QUADRIDENTATA, Ehrenberg (42), (PL XXXIV. fig. 29). 



SP. CH. Lorica oblong, tessellated ; with four occipital spines ; rounded and 

 spineless behind. 



Length (of lorica without the spines), -^\- s inch. Habitat. Berlin (Ehr.). 



SQUAMULA, Ehrenberg (42), (PI. XXXIV. fig. 28). 



SP. CH. Lorica obtusely quadrate, smooth, with six anterior spines ; rounded and 

 spineless behind. 



The only peculiarity noticed by Ehrenberg is its "very large, sparkling, round, 

 red, eye." 



Length, - L> -}- lT to ^J inch. Habitat. Copenhagen, Ingoldstadt, Berlin (Ehr.). 



ANUB-ZEA FALCULATA, Ehrenberg (42), (PI. XXXIV. fig. 26). 



SP. CH. Lorica oblong, rough ; with six anterior spines, the middle pair sickle- 

 shaped ; rounded and spineless behind. 



Ehrenberg says the gastric glands are large. 

 Length, r ^ inch. Habitat. Berlin (Ehr.). 



ANUK2EA BIREMIS, Ehrenbcrg (42), (PI. XXXIV. fig. 32). 



SP. CH. Lorica linear, elongated, ivithfour occipital spines; dorsal surface very 

 smooth, with two sharp, movcable, oar-shaped processes, one on each side. 



There are three teeth in each uncus, round gastric glands, and a red, round, spark- 

 ling eye. The side spines are weak and pliable. 



Length, T J 4 - inch. Habitat. Sea- water, near Kiel (Ehr.). 



ANUE^A STIPITATA, Ehrenberg (42), (PI. XXXIV. fig. 27). 



SP. CH. Lorica subquadrate or triangular, ending behind in a simple spine ; six 

 spines in front ; dorsal plate tessellated. 



The points of difference between this species and cochlearis are given in vol ii. 

 p. 124. Ehrenberg notices that stipitata has a great red cervical eye, and further says 

 that he once saw something like an antenna (Eespirationsrohre) on the ventral side, 

 when looking at the animal sidewise. His figure shows the creature with its head
