MADEIRA AND THE CANARY ISLANDS.

the night-haul were a largely increased number of Schizopoda, 
some of them highly phosphorescent. 
From a pretty thorough examination of the material obtained 
at the various islands of the Canaries aud Madeira, it seems 
evident that their Copepodau fauna varies in quantity rather than 
specifically. For, excepting several cases where one or two 
specimens only of a species were found, which probably indi- 
cated the rarity of that species, their geographical distribution 
appeared to be general amongst the islands. 
Sixty-four species in all were obtained, as enumerated below. 
Of these six are new to science, and three of them required new 
genera. (See Plates X. to XIII.) 
Of the sixty-four species, twenty-two are known in British 
waters ; and of these, thirteen belong to the family Har- 
pacticidse. 
Following the classification given by Brady*, the sixty-four 
species are distributed into families as follows : — 
Calaniclse . . . 
Cyclopidge ... 
Harpacticidae 
Corycseidae 
Artotrogidae 
30 species.

Description of the Species collected. 
Family CALANIDiE. 
Calanus einmarchicus, Gunner. 
C. valgus, Brady. 
C. propinquus, Brady . 
This species, like the two preceding, is widely distributed. A 
high pow T er of the microscope ( X400) shows very fine hairs on 
the inner margin of the terminal spines of the swimming-feet, not 
mentioned by Brady in his description of the species. 
C. TONSUS, Brady. 
C. gracilis, Dana. 
Both found very sparingly.
