Marsh—North American Species of Diaptomus. 443 
In the description as given above, I have adhered very close¬ 
ly to the description given in De Gueme and Richard’s Re¬ 
vision, and the changes which I have made have been mostly 
in the way of minor additions. It would appear that the 
specimens of the three localities thus far known are very nearly 
identical in their structure.

The last cephalothoracic segment is armed laterally with 
two minute spines. 
The first abdominal segment of the female is somewhat less 
in length than the remainder of the abdomen and the furca. 
It is dilated on the sides, and armed laterally with minute 
spines. The second segment is very short, and hardly dis¬ 
tinguished from the first. The third segment and the furca 
are very nearly equal in length. The inner margins of the 
furca are ciliate. 
The antennae reach to the end of the furca. The right male 
antenna is much swollen anterior to the geniculating joint; 
the antepenultimate segment is armed with a hyaline lamella 
extending its whole length, and prolonged slightly beyond the 
distal end of the segment. 
The first basal segment of the female fifth foot is armed with 
the customary spine. The second basal segment has the minute 
lateral hair at about the middle of its outer margin. The ex- 
opodite is composed of two segments. The third segment is 
represented by two spines, the outer being the smaller. The
