 mostraca taken at Weymoutli (Ann. and

Of this Copepod I know nothing except from the 

 description referred to above, the specimen itself 

 being unfortunately lost or mislaid. The following is 

 Sir John Lubbock's description of the animal : — 

 " Frons quadrata, angulis rotundatis. Cephalo thoracis 

 segmentum primum postice paiillo latius. Antenna 

 S-articulatae, setis antenna brevioribus. Abdomen 

 4-articulatum, segmentis subeequalibus. Styli caudales 

 oblongi, divaricati, setis 6-subgequis, diffusis.
