Dkc., 1913. The Queensland Naturalist. 279 
Eight species of Rotifers were recognised : — Syncheia 
tremula, Euchlanis triquetra, Dinocharis teiractis, Rotifer 
vulgaris, Masiigocetca elongata, Coelopus porcellus, Furcularia 
longiseta and Copias cerberis. 
The small entomostracan resembling Cyclops quadricornis, 
but less in size, Canthocamptus mimitus and Diapiomas 
castor were also in evidence. The larva of a small dipterous 
fly, the “ Tanipus," were fairly numerous, and a bag of 
eggs embedded in gelatinous material secured. Beneath 
the half submerged stones, great numbers of the larva of 
Gvrinus nataior, the Whirligig Beetle, were hiding. Their 
sides were thickly clothed with respiratory filaments, which, 
as they wavered in the water, reminded us of the grass 
petticoats worn by the women of New Guinea. Two varieties 
of mosquitoes paid us visits — Culex Vigillax, the black bush 
mosquito, and C. Anmdirostris, and in the half- hidden 
detached pools at the side, the larva of the latter were found. 
These are distinguished by their long respiratory syphon.
