[NV.S.] 
The Ostracoda seem to be poorly represented, the only form of 
which I can find a definite record being Limnicythere tiberiadis, 
Moniez, which is apparently endemic. 
Among the Copepoda Laophonte mohammed, Blanchard and 
Richard ,' has some interest in that it was originally described 
from a salt lake in Algeria and belongs to a genus mainly 
marine, as does also Ectinosoma barroisi, Richard, an appa- 
rently endemic species 
little crustracean has recently been described by von Daday* 
under the name Caenestheriella (= Estheria of authors in part) 
educta. He regards it as allied to C. variabilis, Dad., a 
Species described from Hungary in the same paper, in which 
the following species are also described from Palestine :— 
Caenestheria syriaca, sp. nov. (p. 62, fig. 4) from Damascus, 
ff 
an - tnopinata, sp. nov. 
Only a part of the paper is yet published.

M.-Edw., G. syriacus, Chevr. and Orchestia platensis, Kroyer. 
The first of these is common in the countries round the 
of the lake. It is a widely distributed species and occurs on 
both sides of the Atlantic as well as round the Mediterranean. 
The Isopods® Asellus coxalis, Dollfuss, Philoscia couchii, 
Kinahan and a species of Leptotrichus (pro ably either L. 
tauricus, B.-L. or L. pulchellus Dollfuss) occur in abundance
