SlDICE. 



Sida, Straus. 



Sida crystallina (Miiller). 



1776. Daphne crystallina, Miiller, Zool. Dan. Prod., No. 2405. 

 1821. Sida crystallina, Straus, Mem. Mus. Hist., v. 



1850. Sida crystallina, Baird, Brit. Entom., p. 107, pi. xii. figs. 3, 4 ; pi. xiii. 

 fig. 1 a-h. 



A large and easily observed species, readily distinguished from the next 

 by the external branch of the antenna having three and the other two articu- 

 lations. It is somewhat local, but is sometimes "found in abundance. 



Daphnella, Baird. 



Daphnella brachyura (Lievin). 



1848. Sida brachyura, Lievin, Branch, d. Danziger Geg. 



1850. Daphnella wingii, Baird, Brit. Entom., p. 109, pi. xiv. figs. 1-4. 



1884. Daphnella brachyura, Herrick, Crust, of Minnesota, p. 21. 



This is much smaller than the last, and at times equally numerous ; 

 both branches of antennae have only two joints. The shorter branch 

 has the appearance of a third very short joint at the proximal end, but 

 the articulation is not complete. 



Holopedid^j. 

 Holopedium, Zaddach. 



Holopedium gibberum, Zaddach. 



1855. Holopedium gibberum, Zaddach, Wiegmann. Archiv. fur Naturges., Bd. 



21, p. 159, pi. viii. fig. 9. 

 1865. Holopedium gibberum, G. O. Sars, Norg. Ferskvand. Clad. Cten., p. 57, 



pi. iv. 



1883. Holopedium gibberum, C. Beck, Jour. R. Mic. Soc, p. 778, pi. xi. 



1884. Holopedium gibberum, Herrick, loc. cit., p. 22, pi. N, fig. 11. 



This is a remarkable species, and differs from all other known Cladocera. 

 It " has the brood cavity greatly elevated, and the whole upper part of the 

 animal is covered by a jelly-like mass secreted as a protection or float." It 

 was added to the British fauna by C. Beck in 1881, who found it in 

 Grasmere, Cumberland, and afterwards in a few other places. Sars gives 

 a fine figure of the species in the work quoted above. 



Daphnid^;. 

 Ceriodaphnia, Dana. 



Geriodaphnia reticulata (Jurine). 



1820. Monoculus reticulatus, Jurine, : Hist. Nat. Monoc, p. 139, pi. xiv. figs. 3, 4. 

 1850. Daphnia reticulata, Baird, Hist. Entom., p. 97, pi. vii. fig. 5 ; pi. xii. 



fig. 1 ( (J ) and fig. 2 (var. quadrangula).
