Introduction. 

 By W. A. Heedman. 



The plan of this paper is briefly as follows : — During a 

 trip to America between August 5th and October 5th, 

 1897, I collected surface plankton in both traverses of the 

 Atlantic, and while at Puget Sound, on the Pacific Coast, 

 dredged and collected at low tide. I noted everything 

 seen in the living condition, and brought home a con- 

 siderable collection of preserved specimens. My friends 

 Mr. Isaac Thompson and Mr. Andrew Scott have kindly 

 helped me to work out this collection, and the present 

 joint paper is the result. 



Through the kindness of E. G. Allan, Esq. (one of the 

 owners), and of Captain Barrett, of the S,S. ''Parisian/'
