Leptodora hyalina, Lilljeborg, 



(Plate N. Figs. 6, 7), 



the only species, is found rarely in the larger lakes of Europe and 

 America. 



See Bau unci Lebenserscheinung von Leptodora hyalina, Weis- 

 mann, 1874; also, Om en dimorph Udvikling samt Generattonsvexel 

 has Leptodora, G. 0. Sars, 1873; also, Bidrag til Cladocerenes For- 

 plantningshistorie, P. E. Mueller. 



The work of Sars is particularly valuable, showing that the young 

 produced from the winter eggs pass through a metamorphosis not 

 experienced by the summer or parthenogenetic brood. P. E. Muel- 

 ler mentions the pathological condition induced by the plants of 

 the Saprolegnia.
