of the mud and the resulting condition of the water poured on 

 it in the aquaries, is of essential importance for the success of 

 the hatching operations. 



As above stated, this remarkable Phyllopod has been recorded 

 from two other localities, far distant from the place spoken of, 

 the type-specimens of Baird having been collected at Nagpur in 

 India, and those referred to by Brady at Colombo, Ceylon. The 

 geographical distribution of the present Phyllopod would thus 

 seem to be very wide, comprising in all probability the whole 

 of the Indian Archipelago, together with the southern part 

 of Asia and at least the northern part of Australia. Also in 

 the case of the other Entomostraca raised from Australian mud r 

 I have been enabled partly to substantiate a similar wide dis- 

 tribution, having found at least three of the species of Cypris 

 hatched along with the present Phyllopod to be apparently 

 identical with species described by Baird from India.
