The two forms following are sufficiently distinct fro n the above 

 and form a closer link with the marine Calanid^e. It is doubtful if 

 any absolute line of demarkation exists between these varieties, 

 although they are here distinguished. 



Sp. 9. Diaptoinus pallidus, Herrick. 

 ( Plate Q. Fig. 17.) 



Length 1.20 mm.; length of antennae 1.35 mm. Colorless. Head 

 separated by a suture into two parts; form very slender. Antennae 

 with elongated sette, which are very plumose. The right male an- 

 tenna has no hook. The inner rami of the fifth feet are one-jointed 

 in both sexes. Left foot of the fifth pair of the male of peculiar

Like the above, but larger. Length 1.45 mm. Length of an- 

 tennae 1.5 mm. Inner ramus of male feet of fifth pair two-jointed, 

 those of the female one-jointed. The form offset varies a little 

 from the above. This species has been but once encountered in 

 Minnesota, the previous species occurring abundantly in our larger 

 lakes.
