The Entomostraca which form the subject of the following 

 observations were obtained in some tow-net gatherings sub- 

 mitted to me for examination by my friend, Mr. Alexander 

 Patience, of Glasgow. 



The gatherings, which were contained in several small bottles, 

 were all obtained by means of a towing net, and were probably 

 collected at or near the surface of the water. One of them 

 was collected off Griffins Cove in 1872, and another in Shediac 

 Bay in 1873. The other gatherings were simply labelled, 

 " Towing net, Gulf of St. Lawrence, 1873." They are all in 

 fairly good preservation, notwithstanding the length of time 

 they have been immersed in spirit. 



This, though a small collection, is of special value from the 

 interesting species contained in it, and though no new forms 

 have been observed, the distribution of several of the species 

 mentioned has been considerably extended. 



The number of species observed in the collection is eighteen; 

 fourteen of them belong to the Copepoda and four to the 

 Branchiopoda. Their names are as follow : — 



COPEPODA. 



Fam. Calanid.e. . 

 Calanus (?) helgolandicus, Claus. 



Fam. PARACALANIDiE. 



Paracalanus parvus, Claus. 



Fam. Pseudocalanim;. 

 Pseudocalanus elongatus, Boeck. 



Fam. EuCH^ETIDiE.
