apparently a more southern range. The island of Anticosti, in 

 the Gulf of St. Lawrence, is situated, roughly speaking, between 

 the 49th and 50th degrees of North Latitude, and therefore 

 considerably south of the Arctic Circle; but, on the other hand, 

 the cold current which comes down the Labrador coast might 

 carry the Arctic G. finmarchicus as far south as the Straits of 

 Belle Isle, where the species could find an entrance into the 

 Gulf of St. Lawrence. Still, keeping these contingencies in 

 view, I am inclined to consider our Calanus as belonging to the 

 more southern species. 



Paraculanvs parvus, Claus. — A male and one or two immature 

 female specimens of this small Calanoid were obtained in the 

 gathering collected off Griffins Cove. Though one of the smallest 

 of the Calanoida, the species has a wide distribution, and it is 

 interesting to find it in this collection. The identification of 

 the species required the dissection of the only male specimen 

 observed. 



Pseudocalanus elongatus, Boeck. — Several specimens of this 

 common and widely distributed species were obtained; they 

 occurred in three of the samples. 



Euchceta (?) marina, Prestandrea. — This species was moderately 

 frequent in the sample labelled " Off Griffins Cove, 1872," and 

 one or two specimens were also observed in another sample 

 collected in 1873. Most of the specimens were immature; no 

 adult males were obtained, but there were one or two that had 

 nearly reached the mature stage. Though I feel satisfied that 

 the specimens obtained belong to E. marina, which is the only 

 species they best agree with, the presence of adult males would 

 have made identification of the species more certain. 



Centropages hamatus, Lilljeborg. — This species occurred 

 somewhat sparingly in at least two of the samples — in the 

 sample collected off Griffins Cove and in that collected in 

 Shediac Bay. 



Isias clavipes, Boeck. A single specimen of Isias was obtained 

 in the gathering collected off Griffins Cove in 1872. This ap- 

 pears to be a distinctly new station for the species. 



Temora longicornis (O. R Miiller) — This occurred very 

 sparingly in the samples from Griffins Cove and Shediac Bay, 

 and in another labelled " Towing net, Gulf of St. Lawrence,
