I.— INTRODUCTION. 
TiiE # year has been marked by great activity on the part of carcinologists, 
to which the publication of several * Challenger ’ Reports has contributed 
not a little. The Reports on Tsopoda (Beddard, 6), on Stomatopoda 
(Brooks, 22), on Brachyura (Miers, 142), on Cumacea and Phyllocarida 
(Sars, 184, 183), have enriched science with many new and strange forms, 
and contributed greatly to our knowledge of the phylogeny and ontogeny 
of their respective groups. Of the North Atlantic fauna, Smith (199) 
and Sars (186) record the forms obtained by the ‘ Albatross’ and Nor- 
wegian North Atlantic Expeditions respectively. 
The works of Claus (33) on the anatomy and development of Branchi- 
pus and Artemia , and of Reichenbach (174) on the development of 
A stacus, may fairly be said to stand at the head of the morphological 
investigations of 1886. 
One of the most interesting observations is that recorded by Weis- 
mann (218), the discovery of undoubted polar bodies in the partheno- 
genetically-produced ova of Phyllopoda , throwing a new light upon the 
various aspects of reproduction.
