by Dr. C. A. Kofoid for the Traverse Bay region of Lake Michigan’ 
there are 22 Rhizopoda, 5 Heliozoa, 20 Mastigophora, and 34 Infusoria. 
The close correspondence between the European aud the American 
Protozoan fauna is shown in the fact that out of the 81 species that he 
lists 73 are also found in Europe. With two exceptions, Podophrya 
cyclopum and Glenodinium cinctum, every one of those that he records 
as limnetic species (i. e., those found in open water) are also found at 
Plön, as recorded by Zacharias. 
TuRBELLARIA.—Two new species of Turbellaria are described as 
Phonaria simplex and Mesostomia wardii respectively in Bulletin No.6

Rorarorra.—In the same Bulletin, H. S. Jennings describes a new 
rotifer, Distyla signifera.
