Alona barroisi Moniez. 
We quote the description of Alona barroisi Moniez (88). This 
form is very incompletely described from a single specimen. Itis said 
to be very small and finely striate. 
‘*Tl est extremement petit, beaucoup plus bombe sur le dos qu’aucun autre Alona 
et la bord inferieur de la carapace est fortement arrondi, rappelant ainsi les Leydigia. 
Ce bord est muni de courtes soies; l’ocelle est environ moitie plus petit que 1’cil, 
l’appendice labial est large et arrondi sur les trois cotes libres; le post-abdomen est 
court, son crochet terminal depourvu d’anguillon a la base, les dents laterales en sont 
courtes et larges et il ya sur les cotes serie de plaques, la carapace est finement striee.’”’ 
Island of Terceira, Azores. It is doubtful whether it can be 
recognized. 
I venture to add a few memoranda respecting the long list of names 
which have appeared within this genus and which for various reasons

plete and can only serve at best as a sort of guide to the perplexities 
of the synonomy.
