CoPEPODA Calanoida, chiefly Abyssal, from the Faroe Channel 

 and other parts of the North Atlantic. By Cauon A. M. 

 Norman, M.A., D.C.L., LL.D., F.E.S., F.L.S. 



The Copepoda to which the following paper has reference are 

 from the northern parts of the North Atlantic Ocean. The 

 larger number of them were procured by Sir John Murray in 

 the 'Triton ' Expedition of 1882, when the}"^ were taken in the 

 Faroe Channel at various depths down to 600 fathoms. The 

 deep-water forms were captured in a tow-net attached to, or uear 

 to, the dredge. It was not a closing net, and therefore the 

 depths must be regarded only as approximate. A few specimens 

 were from the ' Valorous' Expedition of 1875, ai;d the remainder 

 were the product of a very interesting tow-net gathering sent 

 to me by Professor Haddon from 200 fathoms, 40 miles N.N.W. 

 of Achill Head, Ireland. 



At the lime when they were found, most of the species in this 

 list were new to science, but pressure of other work prevented 

 my taking them in hand. I had named them partially, and 

 when Professor G. 0. Sars commenced his beautiful work, which 

 is just finished, on the Calanoida, 1 sent some of these and other 

 s[jecimens to him fur his use, believing at that time that he 

 purposed to include the species of the Faroe Channel in his work, 

 but he did not extend its range so far. He has now returned the 

 specimens, and I have had the advantage of his determination of 

 many of the more difficult forms, and of the Arctic species
