On some of the Species of Daphniade, de. 248 
“how do voleanic eruptions produce cyclones ?” without 
more numerous and more careful observations than we 
possess at present, would be premature, and, therefore, 
unsuccessful. 
It may be well to mention, that such a relation is 
countenanced by the geographical position of the hurricane 
regions with respect to the chief volcanic districts. The 
West Indian cyclones first settle upon the ocean near the 
Leeward Islands, a chain of active voleanic vents. The 
Mauritius cyclones proceed immediately from the great 
volcanic district of Java, Sumatra, &c. The cyclones of 
the Bay of Bengal, and the typhoons of the Chinese Sea, 
proceed from the neighbourhood of chains of volcanic 
islands situated on the eastern boundary of their respective 
localities. The majority of the hurricanes in the Southern 
Pacific Ocean which I have investigated appear to emerge 
from New Guinea, New Britain, and the other volcanic 
islands near to Torres’ Straits.

THE animals which I am about to describe belong to the 
crustaceous genera, which have been placed by Miller, 
Latreille, and later writers in the great division of the 
Entomostraca. My attention was directed to the search 
for them by reading the admirable memoir of the British 
Entomostraca, (by Mr. Baird), published in 1849 by the 
Ray Society. As the forms and various particulars of 
the British species have been so fully detailed in that work,
