Introduction. 



The present paper is a continuation of the work on Fresh- 

 water Crustacea begun in the paper "On Some Australian 

 Cladocera," published in the Proceedings of the Royal 

 Society of N.S.W., Vol. lii. 



The work has been done under the aegis of the Common- 

 wealth Advisory Council of Science and Industry as work 

 arising out of an investigation of the transmission of worm- 

 nodules in cattle by a Special Committee appointed for 

 that purpose. The work was begun at Kendall on tlie 

 North Coast and continued at the Zoological Laboratory 

 of Sydney University. 



Material Investigated. 



The material was mainly obtained from freshwater ponds 

 and creeks in the vicinity of Kendall, and from a pond in 

 the University grounds. Collections were also made at 

 Waterfall, on the Lett River, Blue Mountains, Botany and 

 Dorrigo. One or more tubes of preserved material were 

 received from each of the following places : Byron Bay, 

 Casino, Bangalow, Orange, Cumbalum, and Corowa. Two 

 of the new species here described were found at Kendall, 

 one at Cumbalum and one at Botany. 

 Methods Employed. 



In the case of Crustacea obtained at Kendall, Botany 

 and the University, the specimens were examined alive
