The Bdelloida of Central Africa are better known, and there are a 
number of early records for North Africa. At the end of this paper J 
propose to give a resume of all that is known about African Bdelloicls, 
and to compare the Bdelloid Fauna of South Africa with that of other parts.

Notes on the Species. 
Philodinct brevvpes Murray. — Two varieties occurred in Cape Colony — 
first, yellow, the trunk stippled, the spurs relatively smaller than in the 
type ; second, trunk viscous, sordid with adherent matter, like that figured 
in “ The Bdelloid Rotifera of the Forth Area 5 ‘ (22).
