3. Oil two new Species of Copepocia from Zanzibar. 

 By Gilbert C. Bourne, M.A. 



[Eeceived December 13, 1892.] 



(Plate VI.) 



So little 13 known of the Entoiuo.straca of Africa, that I gladlj 

 availed myself of the opportunity of examining a portion of sandy 

 mud, brought by Mr. Finn, of Brasenose College, Oxford, from the 

 neighbourhood of Zanzibar, \^hich was kindly supplied to me by 

 Mr. F. E. Beddard. 



Tlie result, of my search was rather disappointing, as I onlv 

 succeeded in finding a few minute Copepoda, belonging to two 

 species, which I now describe. Of these one is doubtfully a 

 new species, being closely allied to Cyclops orientalis, Uljanin, 

 from Turkestan. The other is a well-marked .species of Can- 

 iliocamptus. 



In publishing a description of the.se two forms, T may take the 

 opportunity of pointing out how much may be done by travellers 

 and explorers in Africa in the matter of collecting fresh\\ater 

 Crustacea. These forms are easily collected and preserved, and 

 from their generally minute size are easily carried. It is probable 

 that the great lakes of the interior have a peculiar and interesting 

 Crustacean fauna \^hich ^^ould well repay collection. Those \^ho 

 have read Weismann's charmmg essay, ' Das Thierleben iia 

 Bodensee,' will recognize what a wide field of study is here open 

 to the traveller and collector.
