PREFATORY NOTE. 
The collection handed to me for examination and report thereon was contained in 163 
bottles, the contents of a few of which were in such bad preservation that they were 
practically worthless for the purpose of identification. The collection of individual 
species is not a large one, though there were great quantities of the more common 
species. But few absolutely new forms were found ; these comprised a new genus 
(Parolabidocera ) and seven new species ( Euchoeta similis, Stephus antarcticum, Xantho- 
calanus antarcticus and X. magnus, Haloptilus ocellatus, Faroella antarctica, and Gcietanus 
antarcticus). As such of these copepods as may be considered Antarctic were 
collected within a small area, I have not deemed it necessary to occupy space by the 
repetition of individual captures, which would be monotonous and of no particular 
interest. The drawings have been made by Miss Marion Lees. 
The signs used in the following pages are B 1 and B 2 for first and second basals ; 
Ri and Re for endopodite and exopodite; Si for inner marginal and Se for outer 
marginal spine (or bristle); Li for inner and Le for outer lobe ; Th for thoracic 
somite. As they were first used in Ctiesbrecht’s great work, and have been subse¬ 
quently often employed by others as abbreviations, the author has thought no 
excuse necessary for their use here, in order to avoid the constant repetition of the 
words “ exopodite ” and 44 endopodite,” etc.

Until the expedition of the 4 Belgica ’ there existed no records of the collection of 
Copepoda south of Kerguelen, except those of Dr. Brady, which referred to the 
4 Challenger ’ collections made from the south of Kerguelen to the pack-ice at 66° 29' S. 
The collections made by the 4 Discovery,’ the 4 Belgica,’ and the 4 Gauss ’ form a 
most important contribution to the planktonology of this southern region, and the 
Owing to the author’s absence from England he was unable to see the “ revise ” of this Report.—E d.
