 Remarks. This genus was established by Phihppi as early as in the 

 year 1843, to include a peculiar Cyclopoid Gopepod from the Mediterranean, 

 0. vennsta, Phil. Another species, 0. mediterranea, was subsequently added 

 by Glaus, and Dr. Giesbrecht records no less than 8 additional species, some 

 from the Mediterranean, some from the tropical parts of the oceans. I 

 myself, many years ago, observed a species off the south coast of Norway, 

 and this form has turned out to be identical with one of the Mediterranean 

 species described by Dr. Giesbrecht as 0. conifera. In some samples taken 

 in the most easterly part of the polar basin traversed by the 'Fram', 2 spe- 

 cies of this genus were found in great abundance. One of these is iden- 



1 The corresponding subfamily is termed by Dr. Giesbrecht Parapontellina ; but as 

 Acartia is of much older date tlian Parapontella, the family ought more properly to 

 be named from that genus.
