Remarks on some Copepoda from the Falkland Islands collected

[Plates I. & II.] 



Several expeditions engaged in scientific research in the 

 southern oceans have, from time to time, visited the Falkland 

 Islands and collected samples of the fauna of this far-distant 

 British dependency; consequently, as the Rev. T. R. R. 

 Stebbing remarks, " the general features of the zoology of 

 the Falklands are tolerably well known"*. So far, how- 

 ever, as the Crustacean fauna is concerned, marine species 

 appear to have received rather more attention than those 

 found in the fresh waters of the Islands. 



One of the later visits to these Islands was that of the 

 Swedish South Polar Expedition in 1901-1903. Some 

 fresh-water collections from the Falklands were brought 

 home by this expedition, and the Copepoda contained in 

 these were reported on by Dr. Sven Ekinan in 1905 in 

 Lieferung 4, vol. v. of the account of the expedition.
