Earring & Myers—Rotifer Fauna of Wisconsin — II, 505 
CEPHALODELLA CUNEATA Myers, new species. 
Plate XXIX, figure 2. 
The body is fairly short and conical, tapering gradually from 
the corona to the base of the toes. The head is very large, nearly 
half the length of the entire body and considerably wider than the 
abdomen. The neck is indicated by a slight constriction. The 
abdomen is very short and tapers evenly and rapidly to the base 
of the foot; the lorica is very flexible, but the plates are well 
marked; the lateral clefts are fairly wide and flaring at the pos¬ 
terior end. The foot is relatively long and conical and rather small 
at the base; the tail is rudimentary. The toes are very long, slender 
and decurved, slightly expanded at the base and gradually taper¬ 
ing to acute, bristle-like points; their length is one third of the 
total length. The foot glands are very small and pyriform. 
The corona is strongly oblique and convex with prominent, beak¬ 
like lips. 
The mastax is huge; the fulcrum is nearly half as long as the 
entire body; the manubria are very slender and not crutched. 
The ganglion is elongate and saccate; neither eyespot nor retro- 
cerebral organ are present. 
Total Ingth 105/x; toes 32/x. 
Cephalodella cuneata is fairly common among sphagnum in a 
shallow ditch with soft, acid water, about five miles north of Egg 
Harbor, New Jersey. It has considerable resemblance to 0. speciosa, 
but is much smaller, the head is relatively larger and the toes 
quite different. 
CEPHALODELLA HYALINA Myers, new species. 
Plate XXXII, figure 4. 
The body is elongate, fairly slender and slightly compressed later¬ 
ally. The head is large and strongly oblique anteriorly. The neck 
is well marked. The abdomen is very nearly parallel-sided, slightly 
rounded dorsally at the extreme posterior end; the integument is 
very flexible and the body virtually illoricate; the edges of the 
plates are very obscure and difficult to trace; the lateral clefts 
appear to be narrow and parallel-sided. The foot is fairly large 
and robust; the tail is prominent and near mid-length. The toes 
are long, slender, wide apart at the base, recurved and slightly 
tapering, with conical points formed by an abrupt downward
